1966 F-85 front coil springs

I have a sagging driver's front spring (about 2-3" lower than passenger) on my crew cab F-85 w/ a 330/auto.....I've already installed some new MOOG #6197 rear springs.

What would be a good front spring to buy that is firmer & a little lower than stock?

Thanks!

You could try V8 AC coils. I have different 66 coils if you want to try some cheap.

Use this table to compare springs once you determine your OEM replacement part number. You can check the height and rates to find something you like better.

Those springs are 16.1" long. For the spring rate you chose, a 17" length would have probably been about right.

I bought these several months ago & finally put them in.....I have a set of four spc springs coming with my sc & c stage 2 plus kit. Changed directions on the car and it' s suspension.

It actually rides great with these springs......just has a super rake going on.
