Hi:
I'm just starting my reassembly of my off body restoration on my father's 78 Vette. I have a few questions about the spring force on the front coil springs and rear spring liners. The Vette has a L-48 Engine, Automatic Transmission, Air Conditioning, and does not have Gymkhana suspension. I have been looking in different catalogs (Ecklers, Corvette Centeral, Doctor Rebuild, and Zip). They pretty much all say 68-82 Small block 350 front Coil Springs. I thought there was differences between spring force for different year Corvettes. Also does anybody know where I can get a set of spring liners for my rear spring. I went to my local GM Dealer and we found out that base suspension is not available, but Gymkhana is. Also I talked to Bears Corvettes in Pennsylvania he told me that he does not stock them but he can get them. He told me that over the phone about a month ago. I went to a metal fabrication shop here in Virginia. They told me that the liners for the rear spring were made of a Zinc-based Alloy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
