Need replacement springs,no luck finding correct application 70 cutty

Hey guys due to a recent suspension failure,I decided to replace everything including springs.I am having trouble getting the right springs, everything I look up on line is generic, nothing spcifically for my 70 cutlass supreme. Im looking to lower maybe an inch,anybody have any part numbers i can use?looking to stay under $200

did you check eaton springs in MI, that is were many of the suppliers get them from and the ones I eventually settled on. I'll see if I can find something, I know I tried a few springs before I was happy with the ride height. It wasn't easy as I wanted a little rake (backend higher than the front) yet both lower than stock and I wanted heavy duty for the back for when I had people ride on the car in parades.

Yeah bro,I'll look in to eaton,I too am looking for a rake lower than stock on both ends as well but it seems like I cant find any concrete part numbers,and anything I find doesnt have specifications on spring rate,length etc.

hahah did not see this post, speak for yourself(no offense) but I respect you for that. Remember you dont have to get hammered,just alittle loosened specially when your doing a full suspension upgrade install

I am very new here, but I used Eibach springs on my 72 S. Just a little more than your budget, but the car sits and looks good. It is a firmer ride than stock springs.

When changing springs you want to be sober. Last thing you want is coil spring to fly out and hit you.
