    Hi I have a 1967 skylark convertible and I am going from the 300 to a 455 and automatic. If anyone knows please help I am looking for the proper front and rear springs. I dont want drop springs if anything I want it an inch higher than factory or at least factory height. I have looked and looked and cant seem to find what I am looking for, I saw the moog website but it says they just sell moog, they arent moog, is this a reputable site? thanks for the help!

    John is right, That is who I called, very helpful. I want to raise my car an inch to get rid of a tire rub on the right front. Next summers project.

    I just took a look at the Eaton site..... $189 for a pair of springs! Yikes!!
    Give Laura at ESPO/Springs and Things a call..... she's a racer and knows her stuff. Those of us on the 65GS forum have been dealing with them for a few years now. Prices are about half of what Eaton charges, about what Moog springs would cost.

    When I purchased from ESPO about 10 years ago, their prices were comparable to Rockauto/Amazon, about $70 a pair. Prices haven't changed much since then, so I'd expect about the same.
