I'm looking for front and rear springs for a classic roadster.Engine is a 351w. Anyone out there have suggestions? My springs are STILL on backorder from CR.
thanks

call Don and get coil overs!

I've got a collection of springs that would probably work for you. Down side is that the springs are heavy and frankly would probably cost more to ship than the value of the springs.

Do what Art suggested... give Don a call. I've got a set of his coil-overs in the back of my CR and love 'em!

One of these days I'll be going to coil overs up front in my CR if for no other reason than the coil overs are easily adjustable for height.

Do as suggested in the above posts. I have QAL 12 way adjustable on rebound at all four corners and they are far better than the springs. I took out the old weight jacks and threw them away.

Art and the others are right. Forget the springs and go with coilovers. Mine shound be here from Don Scott in a matter of days. I've had regular springs and shocks for years now and I can't wait to see how the coilovers work.
