what front spring?

[d.o.c]

i have a drag purpose low 8 sec malibu, has a sbc with ladder bar setup. i did some searching and it looks like the v6 spring is a good option right? if so how/where do i order one? if not, then what do you guys recommend?

thanks in advance.

is their a part # or specific name for the front v6 springs?

I put a big block in my car and I installed the MOOG v6 springs. Just call any parts store and ask for v6 springs, they were pretty cheap too. I cut a 1/2 a coil out of each side and I really like the way it sits now.

If possible, get the app for v6 springs WITHOUT A/C.

I can vouch for the non AC V6 springs. They are under my tall deck BBC and work great.

With that said, I did have a problem with the headers occasionally scraping when I encountered dips in the road. I installed a 28" front tire and QA1's with a stiff compression setting and they haven't touched the pavement since.

does everyone agree that these are the best springs for me to get with a sbc? i just want to make sure before i purchase them.

this is not a street car, i have varishocks front & rear on this car.

i can tell you that they work alright on my car (stock V6 springs with a/c). however, i just ordered a set of moroso trick springs for my car. i've heard the good and the bad for both and decided to give these a try. my car isn't street driven all that much (not at all last year), so i figure i might as well get springs designed for racing and deal with them on the street if and when i do drive it.

I have trick fronts and liked them but i had to raise my rear up to keep my tires from rubbing and now my car sits with the nose real low.I did cut my springs but i think after several years of driving on them they are starting to collapse and im gonna go to 6 cyl springs next just because they last longer on the street.In a car with good shocks like yours i dont think trick springs are necessary.
see how it sits so low now.It wasnt like that at first.This is after about 4 years of street driving though,and it got worse when i lifted the back up for tire clearance.
