[V8Vairs] V8 Vairs Re:Front springs

[Ed Dowds]

"Does anyone know the spring rate in pounds for stock convertible/heavy duty
late model springs? It would be great to know both front and back, but the
front is my current priority. This would be very useful to V8 Vair
enthusiasts doing suspension mods. I see lots of people identifying make
and model, but no info on actual spring rates.

Chevy didn't usually list spring rates. They just told you the load they expected the springs to hold up.
