Springs????

I'm in need of replacing the springs on my z28 and want to replace them without lowering the car anymore then it already is seeing as i live in Pasadena and we have plenty of spot to hiside our vehicle exhaust and everything else. whats the best spring set to get that won't lower it? all i've seen out there are lowering springs.
Thanks
Nick

Re: Springs????

Moog springs OEM replacements can be bought at any decent auto parts store. Get the ones for your application or you can upgrade to the Iroc application springs. About 50-70 dollars for a set. Will retain stock height or with stiffer Iroc springs, may be a little higher. Moog 5608 Frt. Z28,5665 rear or CC635 variable rate rear.

Re: Springs????

I'll trade my 89 GTA WS6 springs, for a set of lowering springs. Not simply cut springs. I can always just cut these springs.

Re: Springs????

Anybody know the stock specs of Springs that came on our cars(v6, v8,ws6)? Because http://www.colemanracing.com/ has a crapload of springs, but I'm not educated enough to guide my way through picking out what I need here. Any help is greatly appreciated, and I figured you guys would like the link.

Re: Springs????

For stock height, 1992 1-LE Z28 springs are the way to go (way better than IROC/WS-6 springs).
