This is how my car sits currently.... http://www.bigblockdart.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=2549&limit=recentI am thinking of ordering the mopar performance super stock springs from either summit or jegs... like 250 to my door. I was wondering how much you think it will raise the rear and if I should lower the front just a little to compensate then. Any opinions welcome and pictures of similar changes would be appreciated |

Try JC Whitney for springs, there was a thread going around a few months ago about getting a set shipped to your door for like $125.00 and there were alot of good comments about them, but I don't think they were the super stock springs.
 That's what I would use. I ordered the HD ones with 5 leafs from JCW for my 70 but haven't put them on yet. My car sits about like yours and I expect it to come up a bit in the back but not too much. |

How do you want it to sit?Find a pic of a car that sits the way you want then find out what they have done to get it there.

Super stocks should get it to sit about that high ... the mopar perf super stocks are made in mexico ... i believe the one from mancini are made in usa ... you can also try www.espo.com they are always very helpful and carry american made springs at good prices  |

I was going to go with the ones from JCWhitney but, ya they stopped selling them. Does it really matter where they are made? Materials aren't any different just the amount they pay their workers...

Well, if you want to be a cheapskate and not support American jobs like the one that's allowing you to buy springs in the first place, that's up to you. |
