Default Front Springs

After adding a 408 iron block motor to the car , it now bounces in the front end alot more even with new shocks on it .

Do you guys think that by adding a autocross type racing spring to the front will help out with the added weight ?

And does anyone know where to get them other than Ecklers ?

I thought about coil overs but they cost to much .

I was hoping someone on this board had played with the front springs before .

only thing that isnt too costly is T1 springs, check on corvetteforum, its alot stiffer and raised the front up, I know they're stronger than stock...

My guess is that your shock rebound is too soft. What kind of shocks did you buy? If adjustable you should be able to dial that out. My konis are adjustable and I had a little bounce with my VBP and stiffened the rebound up, works great.
