Those things look way too stout IMO. What rate are they, and what was their original application? Could just be the pictures but the coils look very thick. Not much travel between coils either.

I could not tell you , they were on the car when I bought it

okay I do see what you are saying about the springs coils being very close... okay so If I was to start over... still use the coil overs shocks I have and order new springs, how do I go about getting the height and spring rate? I read on aldan page that it should have 200 lbs springs for a small block chevy full fendered model A, okay but how do I work out the length spring I will need?? I like the stance where it is... I just think it is too stiff.. like I said it feels as if the rear gets launched on a big bump at highway speeds

thanks,
simon
