I have a stock suspension 69 camaro that I placed 1" drop springs on that did nothing to drop the car, a local shop cut a half or more of coil out that has now dropped the car way to far over the wheel, I need to get the 3/4" back....any ideas?

The I placed 1" lowering blocks in the back but because of this guys suggestion the front needs to come back up!

SC&C has a front coil adjuster kit.

Edit: I see it for G body and second gens, but not first gens. Give them a call. I'm sure they have something.

Thank you!

No problem. I think it will come down to spring diameter and whether or not they will fit your spring pockets. Good luck, let me know what you find out.

Have you used those twist in coil spring adjusters?

Have you used those twist in coil spring adjusters?

No. Not on any car I owned. I don't know how safe those are.

Call Global West Suspensions and ask for a set of their Polyurethane lower control arm spring bases. They have a pocket for the cut portion of the spring and will raise front approximately 1 to 1 1/4"

I'm not 100% sure they will work with stock lower control arms but its worth a try to call and ask.

Global west sells a thinner aluminum spacer that fits in the spring seat. You need a 3/8" thick spacer to raise the front 3/4".
