69Z - front stance

[enio45]

Looking for some advise - for the 69Z, when looking at the stance -I always believed that they were a little higher in the front then the back....say about an inch. Is this correct?

IF so - is there a measurement from the rocker molding to the ground I should be using -

Finally - if I need to get new springs (mine seems to be lower in the front by an inch) - who sells the correct springs for the proper stance?

Thanks guys for your help!

Trim Heights are in section A10 page 0 of the Assembly Instruction Manual. There are 4 points to measure; at the rockers a Z/28 was .38" lower at the rear.

yea, I see that....I believe that is the curb weight with full tank of gas

Have you read David's info re. Springs? Lots of good info there.

Look into Eaton, they sell the "correct" springs. http://www.eatonsprings.com/67-69camaro.html

looks like 6308's would do the trick.....to restore the ride heigth

Ed, just be careful, A lot of times other springs get put in boxes from the factory that are labeled 6308s. I bought a set of 6308s from Amazon, there were 6320s in the box. Luckily, me having a vert, 6320s are the correct spring for my car (verts have an extra 50 lbs on the front )

PS, and I like the back end just a little higher than the front, about 1 inch. May not be factory correct, but with 14&quot; wheels and mono leafs, I need more height in the back [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

I would not change the original springs front or back unless really necessary. If the car really sags ok but otherwise its a can of worms IMO. Unless the wheel wells are 6&quot; (just saying) above the back tires who would really notice?

Mine has original springs, the measurements at the 4 points are right on w/ the assembly manual, a little lower in the rear, I don't see many 69Z28's that have the correct stance, most are too high in the rear
