The COPO cars have the heavier springs, but don't have the extra weight of the a/c stuff to drop the nose down to where most of the other cars reside. I'd like to think that the reason for the heavier springs was due in part to true purpose of the cars (drag racing), but I wonder if an engineer just decided they should get the heaviest of the suspension components, without giving it much thought. But, like someone mentioned before, it's a pain in the butt trying to find springs that give the correct ride height, as a lot of the restored cars I see sit WAY to high (for me, anyway!). I never did care for the way my LS-6 sat (way too high) and it wheel-hopped like crazy because of this as well.

I can say, though, that a nose high attitude is a DEFINITE plus on the drag strip!
