I have the entire drivers side off, except for the lower A arm, that is tomarrow. I want to lift the front of my car about 1/2-1 inch as it was sitting to low. All of my bushings are worn out or gone, my end links were rotted and half there, the A arm bushings are also the same, the shock looked 20-30 years old, and my coil spring was broke at the last 6 inches at the bottom, I am getting new ones anyway. Question no is, what coil springs to get, most everyone says to use the 6308 I think. Car has factory rally, disc brakes, coupe, 350 with 4 speed, non-AC. I am using Moog parts, and Poly bushings, and Bilstein shocks. Anyone have any other info that might help. Thanks, Jerod

Any input. Thanks, Jerod

I had the same mess as you do. I went with the 6308 springs, stock shocks, new lower a-arms because mine were bent, all new bushings and ball joints. With 215/65-15 tires it sits just right, not to low. I think the 6320 spings give you a little more height. Do a search on "6308" and you will see a lot more posts on this. Dave Pozzi also has a lot of good info which is what helped me a lot. Pic attached if it works

Another67, thanks, that is what I have been told, but want to make sure, as yours sits just how I want mine to, thanks for the reference photo also. Thanks, Jerod

Jerod,
Here is a better side view showing the stance of the car

[mjlynch71]

Another67 Perfact stance. I have air shocks on the back, so with the front hopefully where it should I can change the rear to match. Thanks, Jerod

Yep, got the air shocks to but only 20 psi in them

Sounds like you are trying to stay stock on your upgrade, but either way you decide to go Mark at SC&C is a great reference for suspension parts. He's also a Moderator on this site. There are a lot of issues with the stock suspension geometry and he will take the time to explain it all to you.

I ordered a bunch of Hotchkis parts from Summit back in August, but haven't put them on the car yet. When I called Mark, he told me which of the parts I bought were good and which ones should be returned & why.

It is possible that your car was sitting low because the springs were worn out. It's not necessarily a bad thing to lower the car, but it depends on your application.
