I have read countless text in this forum about the Moog 6308 springs. I have not found anything that would tell me what type of spring I would use for the A/C car that I own. It is a 67 Camaro with A/C, PS, PB with a small block. Would it actually use the same non-A/C spring? Mr Pozzi, or someone knowledgeable advise me?
:rolleyes:

A lot depends on how low you want the car.
The 6308 lowers a non AC small block to aprox where the old sagging springs were. People seem to be happy with that height. There is a taller spring with the same 380 rate but it's taller.
Moog 6320 is .304" taller. The same SB non-AC car should sit aprox .5" higher with this spring, but with AC it might sit the same as other guys using the 6308.
Hope I explained this clearly enough. I really can't guarantee you will be happy since desired ride height is different from person to person, also tire height and car weight varies.
Global West makes some aluminum spacers to fit the spring pockets if you need to raise the car a little.

Ok, I understand David. Thanks for the advice. I would imagine that I am going to need to visit the NAPA store to see what spring that an A/C car would need. Or, would you suggest just buying springs from Classic Industries, where they can figure out what I have in the car then buy the appropriate spring? All I want is the stock ride height or maybe and decent stance. Nothing aggressive, or radical. Wudda ya think?

the advantage of the springs I'm recomending is they are stiffer. Stock rate is 327 lbs which is pretty darn soft. Remember the stock tires of the day were a 7.35/14 on a five inch wide rim!
Aftermarket springs from Hotchkis, Global West, DSE or Guldstrand are around 700 lbs.
A 67 SB Camaro with air uses a #6312 Moog/TRW spring.
The 6320 I mentioned before is for a 69 Camaro 6 cyl with air, - Heavy Duty. but it's a 380 rate.
Some people are not happy with replacement Moog coils because they make the car sit pretty high.
Maybe someone will chime in here that has used the 6320 front coil...
