Yes

 

If you measure them, double the height it raises the coil, and that's how much it will raise the car. So a 3/4" coil seat will raise the car 1-1/2", a 1/2" one will raise it 1" and so on.

 

Thank you Doug & 57vette.

 

I have a question for u gentleman I have a 68 convertible which sits approximately 1.5 inches lower on the driver side which rubs he tire when going over bumps.Passenger side is fine.Would a coil spacer help this out .Any suggestion would be helpful.Thanks tom

 

It would be better to understand and correct the root cause imho.

Curious if the doors open and close properly. How are the door and fender gaps?

door gaps r on the money and brand new spring and adjustable shocks.just the left front is low gentleman.kind of weird if u ask me.thanks for the come back

 

Beano... With the left front being low, you have to figure out if the diagonal end is high. IOW, if the rear is kicked up for whatever reason on one side, it might be helping the opposite front. Maybe not a lot, but it could be a factor. I'm guessing at this, but measure the leaf springs on both ends and compare Left and Right. Crummy illustration but you should get the idea. If these are close then you have to look at the front springs very closely. If one is broken that would probably be obvious, but lets say for whatever reason, a small section of the end of the coil spring broke off... IIRC, cutting half a coil could lower the car 1" on that side. Some people heat up coils to drop their cars, maybe that happened along the way in its life? You can probably measure the distance between the upper control arm and the lower control arm with a common point.

Disregard the rack, But take some measurements from the ground to various points on the upper and lower control arms. Maybe something will be obvious when you're under there.

 

And you are 100% sure the front coils are clocked properly in the pocket ?

 

I just went thru this on my 68 RS SS Camaro. I added 2 " drop spindles and added 17" inch wheels. The wheels rubbed so i added a 1/2 spacer and it gained me 1" of clearance which works great now. This took a lot of work to get them in the front coils on the bottom but is is well worth it. Make sure to use a good spring coil compressor. The wheel size is the deciding factor especially when turning.
