I have a 73 Nova iron head sbc/th350 with stock UCA/LCA but with Delrin bushings, 600lb Hotchkis springs for a BB 2" drop 12.875 Inch free height.
For shocks the are ridetech rq's and it also has a 1.25" hollow front sway bar.
My problem is this thing rides like a dump truck. I know ordered the wrong springs but I didn't notice until they were in there. Heres the thing the stance is prefect the way it sits and the only diffrence I see between bb and sb springs is a .375" height difference. Spring rate is quoted the same.
I'm pretty sure the problem is the springs since the control arms moved fine with no binding before the springs were installed and if I push on the fender the thing barely budges. There is also plenty of travel before the bump stops.
Anyone have any suggestions?
