Stock height springs

[GreenGrizz77]

I’m marking down a list of everything wrong with my old girl and pricing things out. I know just about everyone lowers these but I’ve got old people that get in and ride with me and even that extra inch getting out will make it that much more difficult to get out, so does anyone know where I can pick up new stock height springs because mine are tired. I’m 25 years old and still learning a lot but I plan to make her 50 years young.

Try Chris Obert at fiatplus.com. Might not be cheap, but he has some new stuff that he gets from Europe.

The front springs don't usually sag that much with age, although the rears drop over the decades especially if the car has carried a lot of weight. The rear springs in my '69 spider dropped noticeably when I drove across the country to go to college, hauling most everything I owned in the car.

Thank you I’ll check them out and I can definitely tell the rear ones are tired she doesn’t scrape leaving my house with me but with my dad and I she scrapes bad. With my fiancée she scrapes barely

Can you tell what is scraping? If it's the exhaust system, sometimes the exhaust system was installed too low so that it drags on the ground, either in the middle when going over speed bumps, or in the rear tailpipe on inclines (like driveways).

It was the cat but it was hugged up to the heat shielding on the body and I’m going to a side pipe with a header I pulled a few deals and picked up a parts 79’ for about $100 with a performance engine so I’m in the middle of swapping that
