How much of the suspension do you want? I have brand new V8 front springs, Energy Suspension Poly Bushings and a Global West Wonder bar.

 

heh well on a bit of a budget, so really whatever i would need to get me by.

 

All you really need are the springs....assuming your front suspension is in good shape. If it's not, nows the time to repair it.

If you're front suspension is in good shape, I would install the springs with the motor in.... doesn't matter which one. Reason is when you install the new spring, you will use a floor jack against the control arm to set the spring into the upper spring perch. The weight of the car helps compress the spring while you get things bolted together. Without the engine, the car maybe too light and the whole front of the car will lift before you can get the spring compression you need. That forces you to use a spring compressor.

Mine springs have a 1" drop....so while you will might need a spring compressor for removal, you probably won't need one for installation.

$50 plus shipping
