Default Re: I need help from Nova suspension experts

Just a suggestion - go on-line @ Eaton Detroit Spring and leave a message (with all of your car details) with the "spring guru". He will get back with you in a few days and recommend a few springs (with explanation of the differences).

One of my cars had the correct stance after resto, but sagged about 1 1/2 inches after a few years. The "spring guru" really helped me out & avoided a lot of trial & error. I chose the heaviest spring on his recommended list & IMO the stance of the car is still perfect after 4 years.

The rear springs are a different story. Whenever I have had original springs re-arced to factory specs, the car sat too high. After a few cars I now know how much to add to the unloaded arc to get the desired change in loaded height.
