66 front springs

[Dean33398]

I want the stock look for my cpe, what front springs do I buy? Its a small block, but I've added air to the car. I've seen standard, heavy duty and grand touring springs in corvette central's catalog. Which will give me the right height on the front end? Thanks in advance, Dean

What's wrong with using the OE springs? '63s used the same spring with or without C60; don't know about '66, but your AIM does.

Re: 66 front springs

I installed a set of coil springs from Long Island on my '67 bb. Supposively, they're made from the original GM blueprints, same number of coils, free height, etc. My car appears to sit at the correct height, not too high, like the many horror stories I've heard from people using replacement or reproduction coil springs. I wouldn't recommend using springs with fewer coils, even though they claim to provide the correct height and ride.
