IROC Springs

I have a 1987 Z-28 that I am cloning into a IROC. Are the Z-28 front and rear spring different from the IROC. If so, if I install new IROC springs will this change my suspension more than just a new front end alignment?

Thanks,
Joe

Re: IROC Springs

i beleave the iroc springs are a little stiffer but not sure and if you had changed the springs it would be recomended to do an alingment if the ride height changed to be sure on the springs you could call a local parts store and find out if they have the same part number or could call the dealer they might know

Re: IROC Springs

IROC springs are stiffer than regular springs. IROC springs can be found on the Spohn website.

Not sure about the alignment but getting one if the car never had one is probably a good idea.

Re: IROC Springs

Unless you turn a tie rod or change the strut tower mount to a different position, no need for an alignment (unless your car already has an alignment issue).
