Ride Height rear of 67 beaumont/chevelle


Will stationwagon springs provide a higher ride height/stance than regular rear coil springs? If so aprox how much? Also when ordering springs for a 67 with a 68-72 rear axel would you purchase 64-67  or 68-72 parts?

67 has beehive springs. 64-66 do not. Dont order them.

You want the car to sit higher in the rear? Ive hear of guys using the wagon springs but there is a heavyduty spring for the 2 door ht. Thats what i have in my car. Hery happy with the ride height and handling. Pretty sure mine wherem just moog ones.

67-69 rear ends are the same.

 

Look for more info on teamchevelle. Same springs in a chevelle.

 IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THE 1967 REAR HAS THE SPRING MOUNTS OF THE '68 AND LATER AND THE WIDTH OF THE 64-66. I BELIEVE THE 1967 REAR WAS UNIQUE TO THAT YEAR IN THIS REGARD.

 You are correct. 68 and later is wider and 67 is the only narrow 12 bolt that uses the hat type mount and not the lower bolt type for the springs.

Go air bags. Did the Camino and its great, you can adjust as you see fit and it firms the ride up just a bit. Got a big lunch today ?, pump em up !
