Drop Spring Question?

Who has the best prices for drop springs? Do they make a firmer drop spring? Thanks

The best prices I found were at www.justcoilsprings.com

They were $69 per pair. Their customer service is a little lax, however. I put these under my frame, but they appear to be more than what I bought. Won't know until I get the body back on, but the 1" drop looks to be significantly lower than my stock coils. This could be due to different rates, however.

I'm not sure I can recommend them until I see how accurate the 1" drop is.

keep in mind that B-body cars use same size diameter of springs, if you can find a car with lil shorter springs.... most seem to be a couple inches taller, i havent measured height of '77-'90 caprice springs yet though, i will soon,.,.

One thing you should inquire about on the drop springs is if they are made specifically for our trucks, many of the lower priced dropped springs sold for our trucks are actually car springs which are not designed for our trucks heavier weight and thus lead to a mushy feel when installed and are prone to bottoming out.
