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.

Tru2Chevy 08-10-2006 12:11 PM

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.

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!

IROCZman15 10-15-2006 08:43 PM

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)
