<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: WILMASBOYL78</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I ordered big block springs from Eaton...1&quot; taller than stock...1970 Nova with L78 and TH400. we wanted the old school day 2 drag look...I think the look is perfect. We have 15 x 6 wheels on the front with 215/75r15 tires/235's on the rear. I don't think you want to go higher than that...steering will be compromised.

ps...they were a bear to install...that spring compressor was like a hand grenade...I'm glad it didn't go off [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]

Yes, Oh yes! That is the stance I want for my BB Camaro. I love that aggressive stance. If not a part number, as Craig asks, a list of specs to ask for??

As far as the spring &quot;going off&quot; like a grenade, we always took an old seat belt, male &amp; female, bolt them together and buckle and pull the strap tight, for safety, FWIW.

I ordered those springs a long time ago...but, here is how I did it.

Contacted Eaton...gave them the year, make, model, engine/trans/options

Pretty sure I told them 1&quot; higher than stock and that's what they sent me.

Keep in mind, the size of wheel and tire profile/height will impact how the tire looks in the wheel well. I also replaced the control arm bushings, sway bar ends, lower ball joints and front shocks during the process. I'm pretty sure the original springs were coded HH on the tags. If I can locate the purchase details I will share them...if not I'll call Eaton, maybe they have a record of the sale.
