68 Chevelle Coil Springs

[cegr20]

I have a 68 Chevelle with sagging rear coil springs and want to change them. Any recommendations on what to replace them with? I would like to replace the front and the rear. I thought of getting heavy duty springs to give it a slight lift? I know this would give me a rougher ride! There seems to be alot of spring choices out there any ideas?

Here is the Moog part number for front oem options, with spring rates, loads and install heights.

your welcome and thanks.

i really wanted to go with that 8602 spring. but the total diameter scared me as it is a lil less wide. free height was low and wasn't sure how that would go either.

400/424lbs is where i wanted to be, with stock being at 318 and all these after market performance springs being 500+ something right in the middle was my thought.

i decided to go with the 5380 and see what a new spring gets me. i can always cut it a little later to get a 1/2" to 1" drop which will also give me an increased spring rate.

got some QA1 adjustable shocks for all corners as well. bit more then i wanted to spend but i have a disease calls chevelleitis
