Firebird/front springs
I just replaced the front springs on a '71 Firebird Formula 350.The stock ones were too old and allowing the tyres to rub on the very edge of the fenders on bumps.Headers suffered too.Problem is that the new ones we got from the States made the car even lower,like a low rider.Here are the specs:
Original: 17" long,5/8" diameter
New ones:13" long,3/4" diameter.
Although a lot thicker the new ones are too short.Maybe the 3/4"
are Trans Am springs.But the height...?
