For my '77 I got heavy duty lowered HQ springs from Fulcrum suspension - same fit.

What did the HQ springs do to the ride height?  I was pondering new springs for my 73.

I wanted it lowered and I think it dropped it at least an inch.  I'll have the paperwork somewhere at home so I'll try and remember to have a look for the part No.

Pedders suspension have HQ V8 lowering springs - I just sold a set.

They lifted the front end of my 76 vette so high it looked like a 4x4.

Pedders also have lowered springs for 'Vettes. They told me they would give a guard lip to bottom of rim distance of 550mm and they were spot on. I just find them a bit hard.

The more I think about it - may have been cause the front end of my 76 had been screwed with a lot sao it would not have matched with whatever their computer said to use.
