Re: BB CAMARO SPRINGS
That's a good question and it would be nice to see a chart with the springs' general height while with the spring removed and sitting on the ground and also a measurement the wire diameter with a set dial calipers. I couldn't believe how the ride height of my old Camaro changed when swapping from a ZZ4 Small Block to an iron-headed BBC. I expected it drop somewhat but was still surprised at how drastic it was! Does such a chart exist?

Re: BB CAMARO SPRINGS
I've been able to ID springs before using David Pozzi's chart. Also check to see if there is a number stamped on it, usually somewhere on the end coil.

I agree. Keep the originals if you have them. I have never found a set of repro springs that let the car sit properly.

Re: BB CAMARO SPRINGS
Your probably right, there is nothing wrong with the springs I just thought I would replace them during the resto
