Front springs
Monday, July 06, 2009 11:02 AM
I have a 1993 Cavalier 2.2L I race on dirt tracks. I need a lot stiffer springs on the front, especially the RF. As our rules call for everything to be "stock appearing," I would prefer to use something from another car--for example, I have heard (but don't know for sure) that the springs from a Ford 150 will fit and are, of course, stiffer.

Anyone know of anything from other cars--other J-bodies, or any other models, like the F150--that will fit and would be stiffer? I apologize if this is a really dumb question, I don't have any experience in interchanging springs like this.

anything will fit, just make sure that the springs have about the same circumference as the stock ones, and that at maximum lift ur shocks are not topped out.

Get some aftermarket springs, sandblast them, and let them sit outside for a week or two, spraying them with some water every day. They should look stock in no time.
