coil springs

I need new coil springs, but I would like to upgrade them to make the suspension stiffer. Can I order springs for a 442 with a 455 and will they fit in my 71 cutlass S.

A new set of the correct springs will make it ride stiffer. I just put a new set of stock Moog springs in my 65 and it made a large difference.

The new moog springs are stiffer than stock for both the STD and HD sets.

How about springs for, say, a 70 Cutlass fitting on a 70 Delta 88?

Check on Rockauto to see if they use the same #'s. If so, use 'em!
I would doubt that they could be used due to the Delta being much heavier...
