Re: [AMC-List] Front Springs...

The attachemnt was "scrubbed", but the new system puts up a link you can click to see it! The message stated you're looking for a source for frint springs. The source I always use is www.coilspings.com (Coil Spring Specialties in Kansas). Since this is for an early to mid 60s car, I suggest you order springs 10-15% stiffer than stock. That's about what factory heavy duty springs would have been. CSS only makes progressive coils now, not "straight" compression rate. The progressives ride much better -- a little soft initially but stiffen at an increasing rate as they are compressed. They will work out the rate you need based on the original "straight" rate. They have charts showing factory rates from way back.
