FRONT END BOUNCE.
FRONT END BOUNCE.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SPRINGS EVERYONE IS USING? I BOUGHT SPRINGS FROM THE PADDOCK PART#CS5662. I LOOKED THE SAME PART NUMBER ON SUMMIT AND THEY ARE RATED 748 IN/LBS. THE FRONT OF MY 89 CAMARO IS TIGHT, AND GOING DOWN A COUNTY ROAD ABOVE 65MPH IS NERVE RACKING. THE FRONT END BOUNCES AROUND. I HAVE BRAND NEW KYB AGX SHOCKS ALL AROUND. MY BROTHER'S 87 CAMARO HAS THOSE SPRINGS, BUT NO BOUNCE. MINE RIDES LIKE A ROCK HIS IS DECENT. ANY IDEAS OUT THERE?

Re: FRONT END BOUNCE.
what the hell kind of response is that? either:
a) answer the question
b)STFU
anyhow. i'm running a trimmed v6 spring, no front sway bar, and bone-stock 240K mile strut....but i mostly drag race the car and appreciate the suspension articulation.
look at the basics first. make sure you're sway bar end links and bushings are in good shape and not rotted out or missing hardware. if they're in bad shape, replace with appropriate poly-bushings.
i assume the part number you have is a MOOG part number...it looks like it (two letters followed by four numbers). if so, they're good springs. i also believe that the bounce has nothing to do with springs, but rather with your bouncing dampeners (ie, struts, sway bars, bushings, etc.) so maybe start there.
how many miles are on the kyb's?
