I agree. Keep the originals if you have them. I have never found a set of repro springs that let the car sit properly.

Re: BB CAMARO SPRINGS
Your probably right, there is nothing wrong with the springs I just thought I would replace them during the resto

Don't restore/replace anything that don't need to be. It will just be another kit car IMO. 20,000 mile car sounds real nice to me unless it is wrecked or something.

Re: BB CAMARO SPRINGS
According to John R Hoopers book "69 Camaro Reference guide" Chevrolet had 22 different front springs for the Camaro. The book has three pages devoted to springs (pages 344-346) They called it computer selected springs, it was selected from a table of different weights on the front.
The table shows 7 different springs for bigblock coupés and 6 for 'verts. Z/28s has 7 different springs one of them can be found on bigblocks (YH) Today Moog has only one spring (or maybe two) for the Camaro so the chance that one of them would fit correctly is pretty slim. Jan
