1969 copo camaro front springs

[Keith Tedford]

Check out an old Camaro parts book. For Chevelles there wer 26 different front spring codes listed in group 7, Spring Chart Illustration 8. Illustration 9 lists various options including engines. There is a weight variation for each option. Totalling the variations for your car gave a number which you used in Chart Illustration 10 to find the proper spring. On 13637 cars there were 3 front springs listed for the standard suspension and 2 for the F40 depending on the weight of the options. The COPO Chevelle build sheets that I have list standard SS396 GW front springs. I would think that Camaros did the same thing. A lot of the replacement springs have the cars sitting a mile high. Our Chevelle sat quite low and had the rear springs replaced under warranty. The front sat more than an inch lower than normal.
