Hey guys, for the ones that are using Hotchkis 2" drop coil springs in there 67-68 camaros with a Big Block with aluminum heads...Which one are you using? The ones for Big Blocks or the ones for a small block? The reason I ask is the Hotchkis site says to use a small block coil spring for Big Blocks with Aluminum heads. Just want to make sure I get the right ones. Also, I'm going to use their 1 1/2 rear leafs.

Thanks,
Tony

I ran the SBC springs for my 68 w/ aluminum heads and it sat too low. With a 245/35/17 it rubbed and my headers scraped (hooker super Comps). I went to the BBC spring and cut a 1/4 coil out.

Thanks. I'll look at getting the BBC Coils.
