Anyone have any experience in aftermarket replacement front springs for a Big Blk? I plan to go with a composite rear spring with a 340-360 lbs/inch rate.
Which rate front springs & brand are a good match?
Thanks

Ken, your composite rear spring may not be the same arch as the original but will bring your car back to factory ride height.Front coil rate is by wire diameter.Corvette Central has big block coils for a fair price.There is a differnce in coils for cars with AC and without AC.Hook yourself up with the right coils,you'll be fine.
