Re: 1969 copo camaro front springs
We have an original blue coil spring tag from a low mile Yenko Nova, the part number is for the L65 350 with a/c. Obviously, the COPO Novas don't have the a/c, but the springs are designed to hold the extra weight. Without the extra weight, the Novas sit high-nosed. We think those springs were selected because Yenko chose the 'heavy duty cooling package' on these cars, and believe that this package actually part of the a/c package; 3core rad, 7blade fan, big clutch, ect.. and stiffer springs. We believe this cooling package addition was part of COPO 9737 for '70.
A lot of people replace the 5leaf rear springs with the generic ones, which makes the rear sit way too high. This makes it look like they have the incorrect front springs when it's the rears that are wrong.
Thoughts?
