<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: earntaz</div><div class="ubbcode-body">With all this being said -- what are the suggestions for front springs in a BBC 427ci 70' Nova w/air conditioning. (this old fart needs air down here in San Antonio!!) I prefer stock height or a skoshi higher in the nose -- no dropped suspension. </div></div>

1969 BB Camaro with a/c...those springs should work well for your 1970 BB a/c Nova..stay cool

**Eaton can provide correct springs for this..you can even order them 1/2&quot; or 1&quot; higher..

Wilma -- you wouldn't happen to have the specs on those 69' Camaro springs ... rate, installed height, etc.

Thanks ... TAZ
