Default 69 COPO Camaro Coil Spring.......code #'s ????????

I see where RICKS Camaro parts has a long list of 69 Camaro coil springs with misc codes (i.e. YA).
There is another chart adjustment weights for misc options (???)

After having my 69 X-11 COPO clone sit too low and now a tad high, I'm still searching for "correct" spring.

My car has T-400 trans, power steering, power brakes, repop curved neck radiator, headers, no smog, iron heads, 163 intake, etc etc

Can anybody with knowledge of this subject,please help or direct me to someone who does. I would like to make the third set of coils the last set

FYI, the rear has HeartBeat City repop leafs which appear good.

The car has been driven a good 1000 miles so there was NO significant settling..........

RICK's catalog does not show a HQ spring..........

With ALL the COPO knowledge at this web site, does not someone have knowledge of correct spring code and/or who sells the correct part.........

Thanks

Chuck, my 69 20K mile L-78 Camaro had YP code springs and a perfect ride height. I still have them with the original tags. I would think the ride height would be the same for a 427 COPO as the engine is outfitted basically the same. Do you have any 2nd gen parts to trade????

YP springs in Rick's Chart show 181-262 added weight.
I obviously dont understand these charts.

Chart in RICK's catalog (page 69) shows
L-34 add 209 lbs
L-78 add 133 lbs
other than intake where is diff between L-34 and L-78 ???
M-40 add 44 lbs
J-50 add 9 lbs Power Brakes
N-40 add 40 lbs Power Steering
T-60 add 6 lbs HD Battery
V-01 add 7 lbs HD Radiator

I repeat my above X-11 "COPO" has Headers, No Smog, but otherwise very similar top a REAL COPO!!!!!!!!!!

Paul, Curious why you changed springs in your (sold) L-78 if you were happy with height/look?????

I would be willing to buy/trade BUT I need to know I will be happy. I am tired of spending money on parts and labor..

Also my car has cowl hood, not SS hood (weight ????)

I went to L-89 Aluminum heads and found the proper NOS YM code springs on ebay. The heads took about 80-90 pounds off the front end. I would think the SS hood and cowl hood would be approximately the same weight.
