Springs
The springs in my car are 41 years old and I think it's about time to change them. Looking for input for a place to get them. I want a original looking spring that is going to give me the correct car height. Please let me know your choices.
Thanks, Dan

On a stock set up I use Vista Cruiser cargo coils in the back, they were $95 at sears , they are variable ratio and It raises the rear a bit. I've researched this some and it seems that the 442 had a "Dago Rig" where the rear is down slightly . I could be wrong. In any case I set it up like any a-body I've done ...
You have to get calibrated springs from Fusick for the front depending on options ...

Rockauto.com should have the Moog and other brand springs for your car. They've been closing out a lot of parts lately and they may not have many left. They say how many are left in stock and the pickens are getting slim on a lot of the Olds parts. The cars did sit about 3/8-9/16 of an inch lower in the rear stock. I'm half "Dago" and I think my butt still sits at the correct factory height? It does drag after a hard day at work though.
I needa the cargo coil or air shock so she cana make it all better.

They're definitely more expensive than what you can get at RockAuto or JEGS, but I think it's worth it. I've seen more 442 riding "too high" than I care to remember.

Thanks everyone for there input. I think I'm going to give Fusick a try. I have had good luck with them. This is something that I only want to do once and I really don't mind spending a little extra knowing that I will have a better spring.
Once again "Thanks"
