need a recomendation on springs
i currently have V6 springs in the front of my car as i did an engine swap over the summer
the car handles OK, but with 200,000 miles on the chassis, its definetly time for a rebuild
i am going to go with a pretty basic rebuild, nothing too fancy as it is my daily driver
i am going to be using KYB struts in the front
my exhaust is pretty low and the car bottoms out alot
i would like springs that retain the stock ride height in the front
i would also like the springs to be pretty stiff
i am currently running 225/55ZR16's in the front
and 265/50R16's in the rear
i am going to be upgrading (size-wise) to 245/50R16's in the front
i am not very concerned with a bumpy ride (hell, if i was, i dont think i would own a camaro) i just want tighter handling and a stiffer feel
opinions?

do a search under laiky or chickenman355 and they discuss moog springs in one of their posts. I don't remember the numbers but they were the best deal I've seen for a replacement IROC spring that's available from about any part store.

Probably Hypercoils or Suspension Spring Specialists. They make ones in different rates and lengths. You'll have to select one that's the same length as stock with the desired rate you want.
