They typically used the stock front springs with spacers under them to make the front end sit higher. The spacers look almost like a horseshoe.

Would they be like the rubber rings found at most parts stores? I was debating on ordering custom springs, but they are a tad pricy.

There is a set of 3" Front Lift Kit made buy EELCO for a 62-67 nova but i think these are the same idea as COPO is talking about ? Item number: 220010643899 on evil bay

Thanks for the tip, I emailed him to see if they would work on a Camaro

The spacers that I have seen are metal.

I read somewhere that the horse-shoe spacers are factory air conditioning spacers?

That's right.

OK, what are factory A/C spacers? I've never heard of them before.

From the 2/67 Car Craft article on the first Nickey 427 Camaro. Center left of page shows a/c spacer being installed under front coil. Car lost an inch of height with big-block on 350 springs so spacer raised car back up. That's Dick Harrell doing distributor upgrade on the Sun machine.
