stiffer stock replacement srpings????
anyone know were i can get stiffer springs for a 3rdgen?must retian stock ride hieght
|
I think WS6 springs are as stiff as you can get without going into 1LE parts. I would just get some aftermarket ones like the ones from moog.
|
i already have 1LE springs in the car was looking for something a lil stiffer but stock ride hieght.but it looks like im going with a coil over setup all the way around
|
i also need to find the "stock ride ht. extra stiff front springs for a 3rd gen camaro"
\ (i installed 2" droip spindles, and the front is low, perfect though, i love the stance, but the air-dam scrapes a lot, cuz the front springs/struts are 19 years old, so im looking for super stiff , stock ride height springs/strut, etc |
Besides going to coil-overs, Moog replacement IROC/WS6 springs would be your best bet. If you are still on factory struts, you need to change them ASAP.

nope struts/shocks were changed out when i installed the 1le stuff,coilovers are gonna be my only option for what i want

-i'm also a Dave!! i looked on all sorts of online parts sites, etc.. still can not find the damn springs.. at least not for an IROC from 87.. everythign i do find, says Z28, exc. IROC any ideas on where to get em? |
I know Moog makes them, but I don't know the part number
Try a search here, I know it's been mentioned a few times before. - Justin |
some guys on Thirdgen.org helped me out
here is a link for the springs if anyone else was needing them http://www.spohn.net/product.cfm?productid=1404 i will be buying them sooon |
Did you call Sam Strano? He set me up w/175# linear 10" springs along w/GC perches and SA Koni's to stabilize my ride and raise my ride height.
Best investment yet.......other than the cause of my problem! (lol) He'll probably ask these questions: (1) axle weights (2) ride height measured from ground to highest point of fender on each wheel (3) intended usage such as DD, autocross, or drag application I was 1-3/4" below the front(s) 27" vs 25.25 in the rear, and now 27" all around and no ground clearance issues whatsoever! |
just to follow up
.. i got the springs in,and new isolators, .. all 4.. my mechanic did it cuz ive been too busy.. I paired them with a set of Tokico 5 way adjustable shocks and struts, and couldnt be any happier.. with with the amazing ride quality. however, these springs sure do raise the car upa bunch. i know old springs(stock) do sag, etc.. but i musta gained about 3" in front and 3" in the rear.... after driving around for a week, the springs "settled" and the car body dropped about 1" on all corners... i will however have to cut the rear springs, because hte back end is way to high... (jsut advice to those who plan on replacing springs) |
