I have a 67 short step side and I was wanting to do a 4/6 drop on this c10 but I was wondering who makes the best spring. I daily drive this truck, autocross it, and drag race it. would ECE,CPP or moroso trick springs be better?

If you're lowering it that much, you will need to use spindles. If you try to drop 4 in in the front with springs only, you will never get good alignment. Any of the major companies you mentioned would work but look into a kit with drop spindles, disc brakes and do it right.

I would like to know too. I have ECE on the front of my 67 and they ride great. I am now working on the rear.

ECE rear springs are $114 and Hotchkis are $213.

Are Hotchkis springs really that much better?
