Hi guys,
I've been lurking and learning for a while now. I had a green '69 back in the day in the late 80's when I was in high school and am now at a point in my life where I was able to finally pick up another first gen Camaro.
Late spring I picked up a 68 big block that's in great overall condition. It's showing 58k on the clock. I've put some miles on but I'd really like to start fresh with a good service and changing of all fluids for a nice clean maintenance starting point.
My mechanic and I had it up on the lift and came up with a list of items to be addressed but it's a short one. In addition to changing the fluids a few fiddley bits need to be addressed. The shocks, for one, are pretty obviously shot so they'll be replaced. Also, the ride height is pretty low and while I realize the shocks are part of the problem, the car wants to bottom out on even the slightest bump if there are 2 people in the car.
So new springs are what I'm looking for help with. I believe they're probably original and I'll hang onto them but I'd like to put new springs on the car. It's not going to be raced or anything so a stock(ish) replacement is what I'm thinking. Problem is I'm new to this world again and don't know where to go for good quality and fair prices. It's a great car and I'd like to treat her right. Suggestions for where to go and who to talk to?
Thanks guys!!
