Default Re: 1969 nova big block springs

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: WILMASBOYL78</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I ordered big block springs from Eaton...1&quot; taller than stock...1970 Nova with L78 and TH400. we wanted the old school day 2 drag look...I think the look is perfect. We have 15 x 6 wheels on the front with 215/75r15 tires/235's on the rear. I don't think you want to go higher than that...steering will be compromised.

ps...they were a bear to install...that spring compressor was like a hand grenade...I'm glad it didn't go off [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]

Yes, Oh yes! That is the stance I want for my BB Camaro. I love that aggressive stance. If not a part number, as Craig asks, a list of specs to ask for??

As far as the spring &quot;going off&quot; like a grenade, we always took an old seat belt, male &amp; female, bolt them together and buckle and pull the strap tight, for safety, FWIW.
