Another shock/spring combo question post

[Jasons68]

I would like a recommendation for the front of my 68 camaro sbc shock/spring combo. This is a street driven/daily driver car (sorry nothing juicy) and I have 245/45R17 tires that rub badly at the slightest bump in the road. I dont know about the current springs but the shocks are just Monroes. I also get a lot of "float" at higher freeway speeds. I am having to replace my front tires soon due to tire damage and want to correct the problem (like I should have done a along time ago) before I put new tires on.

I welcome all opinions and recommendations but would really like to hear from people with a first gen and similar tires. I really want to avoid ruining more tire$ and correct the high speed front end "float" I am experiencing. I wont be autocrossing but would like to get some confidence back in the front end.



I cant do anything too high end like ridetech or TVS but am open to all suggestions. I wont be able to replace bushings and such right now since I have to replace my tires but that is in the near future.. I think the springs/shocks will correct my immediate issues...so.....whaddaya think!

One thing I'd point out, if your bushings and steering components are worn out alignment and tires are a waste of money. Do that along with shocks an then tires.

I hear ya Ron and I intend on replacing all the front end with a PST kit but I HAVE to replace my tires soon. So that and not destroying my new tires are my immediate priority. This car is literally my everyday driver/chore runner and I dont have the funds to do it all at once. Thanks for the input though!
