and hey shitty, i did use the search button.....

i origanally hadd a big block in my 68 and when i rebuilt the front suspesion i used big block springss, natuarually.

and now it sits way too high and too stiff with the all aluminum engine in it.
so io was planning on useing 2 in drop spindles but that would still leave it reallly stiff.

so what arew use guys using?

Use the small block springs. The weight is pretty close. You may be able to get away with the 6cyl springs as well, but they may be a bit soft.

I'm running an LS1/T56, with ATS mounts, using PST smallblock springs in the front and brand new PST 5-leafs (well, 8 yrs old, but never installed them until now) in the back. Eyeballing it, the front looks about 1/2 high right now. The front should be about 2" lower than that with these springs. Once I finally get around to buying and installing AC, I'll go weigh the car (front/rear/whole), measure the spring height at the current ride height, and hit up both the suspension gurus on camaros.net and some spring vendors for recommendations.

I originally had my QA1 coilover setup with BB spings and had the same problem. Swapped them for SB springs and then it finally sat right. I think BB springs are too stiff for LSX motors, but better to ask a suspension guru.
