I'm looking for front coil springs that will put me at about the stock height, 450-550 lbs/in rate, and less than $125.

Any suggestions?

Go to your local autoparts store and order Moog springs. Should be between $60-75.

Well, all the guys over at Chevelle Tech use them and I got a full 2" drop set for my Chevelle and they look to be nice pieces!!! :D My only complaint is that they put the springs in the shipping box before the paint had fully dried so about 1/4" of one side of one of the spings came in a trick cardboard finish! It also took them about 3 weeks to make but the pigtails look identical to stock (minus height); kindof freaky!!
The pic isn't great but you get the idea!

P.S.- I probably shouldn't say whatever you want but mine cost $120 total & $20 for shipping
