  Tim Colson asked:
  
<<one of my corvair firends has made an alarming discovery on one of his 
national winner cars.  the rear springs were 2 different sizes and 
diameters.  soo 
he changed them with new ones.  now he just called and found that the 
front is 
messed up also.  2 different diameters , and one with a rubber cushion 
on it 
like a rear.  now we are looking for correct measurements of front and 
rear 
springs for a 64 convert ,63 convert , and 63 coupe.>>
