Time to replace front coils - suggestions
 

Getting ready to replace upper and lower ball joints and figured I might as well replace the springs while I'm at it. Already bought MOOG ball joints.

Advice/experience with replacement coils...what's the best brand?

A little worried it's going to sit too high.
Can I drop 1" without any issues.

It's my only daily driver, original powertrain w/3OTT. Front and rear sway bars.

Future upgrades, automatic transmission and 15x8 steelies.

Early classic enterprises is a great company for springs, and other suspension parts as well. 1" drop won't affect anything, and chances are, your stock springs are already sagging close to an inch, maybe a bit more. If you have the means, you should pull a coil out, measure, then call and confirm a measurement for whatever springs your looking to purchase.

Cool, I'll check them out.

Yeh figured it's sitting a bit lower now, kinda like the height it sits now.

I'll probably bite the bullet and do some measuring before buying.

Doing a little reading looks like I should go with a Variable Rate spring.

thanks

I've used moog 6082 many times. It is a smaller wire diameter, rides softer , found it to sit slightly lower than others. Bob
