If that is your direction, be sure to discuss with me your <span style="font-weight: bold">NEW</span> spring selection.....I`ve been there done that [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] Getting the stance just right can be very expensive by going through various springs and companies.

That correct spring code for the front spring is GW, that matches the part number on the tag. I have the same springs on my 69 Malibu and 69 SS.

If Dan has some good spring codes, definitely check with him before putting new springs on the car. With some homework, it isn't too hard to find the right coils.
