need to know what spring rates will work with my 72 nova. total vehicle rate is 3280#. the front is 1845# and the rear is 1435#. the ones on the car are way too soft and sag with the littlest of weight. car has a 5.3, a/c and 4l60e. If you have pics of your nova i would love to see them. and can you please state what size your tires, rims and backspacing is. thank you in advance for your help.
thank you

forgot to mention, this is a daily driver and doesn't see "track" time. Mostly to get my daughter up and down the highway to college.
thanks

They will do custom also.

Stock is around 450 in the front and 130 in the rear.

thank you for the link. so many options. i was hoping to see a couple of pics of tire sizes with spring rates and whether they were -2", stock, etc. just about wore out the search engine. I got a set of 18" boss rims with 255 55 18 in the back and they didn't hit the fender lip, so my dilemma may not be as bad, but the front is junk. They were heated at some point to lower the car (way i got it) then they had 1" planks wedged in the springs to hold it up.

For my 69 f body, I put the carquest bbc springs in and cut 1/2 coil. $100
Made it 1/2" lower in front than back. I think they were trw brand.
I had stock replacement 4 leaf from the link above.

This was before everybody sold springs.....

my preference, call global west.
