Hello Guys, Rebuilding the'69 BB front end, I've read all the great info from Mr.Pozzi. and CarlC. First I don't know if the springs need replacement, second, my brain is full, A stance slightly lower than stock would be fine, I can't sort out if Moog 6082 or 6320 is what I need or Landrum adjustables are the way to go. Can someone help sort this out? this is a cruising car, currently running 15" wheels, but I would like better handling. Thanks Brad

How are your bushings first off?
I am going with the Eibach EIB-3848-120 which are for 'Chevrolet/Pontiac: 1967-1969 262-400 Camaro/Firerbird' on my 1969 Camaro. They are designed for a 1" Lowering, slightly stiffer sportier spring. Picture below of what they look like with 17" rims

Best price I have found is $114 at tmengineering.net

$114 from http://www.tmengineering.net/suspension/brands/eibach/make/pontiac.html

$130 at summit

Front: rebuilt stcok with Energy Suspension polyurathaen bushings. Eibach springs, KYB shocks, Addco 1.25" sway bar. Rear: Rebuilt stock with Bell-Tech lowering blocks, KYB shocks, 1" sway bar on the rear

Hey Brian, Thanks for the response. I will have to e-mail them for their spring weights as I'm concerned about the Big Block, or if it will be a factor. My bushings are O.K.,but the rest of the tie rods etc are suspect, also appears that KYB's are in place, so I need more spring info. Thanks, Brad

Based upon my research on this site and the guidace of members like David Pozzi, Carl C, and Chicane67, I would DEFINITELY recommend a front suspension rebuild with either AFCO or LANDRUM spring adjusters. Following their advice I chose to rebuild my front suspension in the same way, and to be truthful, I won't go back to cutting coils again. Just be sure to get a spring that has a flat end so that it will mate up with the adjuster. This system offers maximum adjustability and eliminates the possibility of cutting too many coils.

4Barrel Rich, Thanks, After all the research on this site I am leaning towards the Landrum or Afco Adjs., However I'm still not sure which spring(s) go with them? I think the Moogs need cutting, Hotchkis and the like are drops, so the hypertech? is the only one suitable with adjusters? Regards, Brad

The AFCO adjusters have a larger center hole for better shock clearance.
There are many many manufacturers of the springs, you need "stock appearing" NASCAR circle track springs, 5" ID not 5.5", they come in a free length of 9.5", the adjuster adds the rest of the needed height.
A 550 rate is really nice on the street. If your tires are close to stock width, and the car not lowered too much, you could go softer like around 400lbs.

If you have 450 hp or above, and very good rear traction, a 650lb spring might be needed for best handling.
