Default Stock rear springs anyone?

Anyone have any stock Z28/Formula/V6 rear springs sitting around? I have some SLP Eibachs currently and I want to replace them with something softer for better weight transfer...

Alrighty Doug... I'll take those springs. I'll have to bring the Z28 up to him anyhow in the next few weeks for my nitrous install, so as long as he doesn't mind hanging on to them, I'll just grab 'em then.

And yeah Mark, I don't think any 28" tire would fit with those SLP Eibachs on there. It only lowers the rear maybe three quarters of an inch, but that's more than I can give up to fit a proper tire on there.

You actually don't want "softer" Springs (or shocks for that matter). You want the weight when its transferred to be applied to the tire not the suspension. A set of stock V8 Springs should be fine for most jobs though... Eibachs work just fine too BTW.

The Extra Clearance would be nice if you're going to the 28s for the sidewall though.

Good luck!
