Super Stock Springs

[64Belvedere]

Ok, so I just bought a 65 Coronet Hardtop to replace the 64 Belvedere I lost in a fire a year ago. I want to give it some stance and put SS springs on it. I want it to sit similar to the belvy in my avatar Which ones should I use 3400? 3800? Car is currently completely stock. I'll be picking up a set of hangers from Mancini Going to run 265/75/15's on it.

Go with 3400#. I used them on a '65 Coronet and the stance was perfect. I have a
friend who got 3800's for a '64 330 and wound up having to use lowering blocks
because of the height of the back end.

 

[64Belvedere]

That's what I'm afraid of. there is a 65 around here that sits like a 4x4

I have the 3400 hundred lb Super Stock springs on my car in this pic that I bought from Mancini. The car actually sat about a 1/2" lower and I rased it the 1/2 for this stance that I like. Ron

Did you raise it after installing the springs or did the springs provide the lift? Yours has a nice stance

64 Belvedere: I should have mentioned in my first post that I also had just installed
3400's in my '63 Belvedere, and again the stance is perfect for me. Sits just about
the same as 383man's car.

I actually raised mine about a 1/2" after putting the 3400 lb SS springs on. The car sat about level and I used a slightly longer shackle to raise it about a 1/2" to sit like this as I like a tiny rake to it. Thanks for the kind words. Ron

I have the 3400lb 456/457 on my 62. Sits nice. Also, you have to use the longer front spring mount.

 

[383man]

I did not have to use a longer front spring mount on my 63 as they bolted right in with all the stock pieces.

62 and 63 use the same segment lengths as the 68 A body super stock cars. 64 and later B bodies need a longer front mount.

So if I order SS springs for my 63 Fury I need to order for a 68 A body? I never see SS springs listed for my 63....

Nope. The SS springs all have the same segments. Order what rate you need. 62 and 63 B body are the same as all A bodies. The SS springs are based on the A body front and rear segment. http://ep.yimg.com/ay/chucker54/mopar-super-stock-spring-special-right-left-92.gif

Thanks, that's the first time I had seen that chart!! Ideas on the best place to get springs for my car 63 Fury? Prefer 1" drop since I have 2" drop spindles...

I went with 3800 S/S...I tried the 3400 first and it sat way too low.

That's the stance I'm looking for. All the cars in this thread sit nice. Hope to get mine looking as good.

I would give ESPO a call. They make springs to order and get good reviews here. The Mopar SS springs do not seem to give the same ride from vehicle to vehicle. I went with them because they were inexpensive and cheap oversize shi

I ordered from ESPO the first time. They were very nice to deal with however the reason I need springs is when I received them they were looked like they had been stored outdoors with quite a bit of rust on them especially between the spring leafs. They were not worthy to go on a fully restored car. So I blasted the springs that I could get in the blast cabinet which was all but the two longest on each side. I took the 4 remaining springs to a commercial blaster that I had used before. They never called to tell me they were done and when I rode out to check on them they were out of business and my springs no where to be seen. ESPO offers a great price but quite honestly I am reluctant to order springs again that looked like they were pulled off a junk car, wiped off and painted with a rattle can, which is what I got the first time.....

I bought my 3400 lb SS springs from Mancini. They always treat me good so I like to give them my business. Ron

Possibly. Correct right side springs will have 2 half leafs on the bottom of the stack. Yours looks like 6 leafs. But some people use 2 left side springs so it doesn't sit crooked. SS springs should also have a number stamped into the spring on the bottom side.
