the parts warehouse's here in hawaii dont have any oem springs for my 73 camaro is there any other gm cars front springs that are the same or close to the same because if i ship coil springs here its like and extra 60 - 80 $'s any ideas or answers would help greatly,
james

Have you checked other year Camaro's or just for a 73? If the guy at the parts counter is lazy he might not take the time to look. See if they will let you look through the catalog. If there are none of those available check Firebirds and 75-80 Nova's, Old Omega, Pontiac Ventura etc. they use the same subframe. Good luck.

Any of these:
apollo 75
camaro 70-81
century 73-77
chevelle 73-77
cutlass 73-77
firebird 70-81
grand prix 73-77
lemans 73-77
monte carlo 73-77
nova 75-79
omega 75-79
phoenix 77-79
regal 73-77
seville 76-79
skylark 75-79
ventura 75-77

hey james,

are you looking for new springs? or used ones? i was in ABE's junk yard up in pearl city industrial park last weekend (probably about 2 miles from where you are) and saw two 70-73 camaros just sitting in there with the front ends still in tack. only missing the motors.

if you need the number, it is (808) 455-4200

give them a call and find out what they want for them both if they take it off or you take them off. hope this helps, JS http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

------------------

Do yourself a favor and get new ones, they aren't that expensive, and considering the time and effort they take to install, it's money well spent, especially if you are going to keep the car for awhile. Generally speaking, you can get a good set of new springs for less than 100 bucks. I just put new Moog big block springs on my 69', and they were only 79 bucks from Firewheelclassics. I highly recommend them.

I got moog big block springs from the local parts store for $50. They also carried TRW for the same price.

hey james,

if you are looking for new ones, i think that Checker has them for almost the same price as what mark suggested. the closest one to you would be the SaltLake location by the stadium.

good luck, JS

MarkM: Do you by any chance know the moog or TRW part number on the coils for the 69 big block with air? I repeat,,, with air.

TRW and Moog are owned by the same company now.

When I bought my springs, the book they ordered them out of didn't have the option of air with a big block, but they did have the air option with a small block. I don't know the part number I bought because I threw the box away, I also cut about 2 coils out of mine making them stiffer, but I don't know the exact rate.
