Not sure why no one is using the H-body library. There is a list of every spring that came in the H-bodies. Look under stock suspension. There you can find spring rates, load ratings, and even coil diameters.

Sorry for the long delay in responding, but I can't find the receipt with the part #. Stupid me, I took the tags off when I painted them black before installing so that idea didn't work either... :(
Sorry
(But as I didn't have a part number when I went to get them I did it by the vehical description for the V6).

since you guys are all talking about frt coil springs maybe you can steer me in the right direction, i have a 73 vega gt hatchback, shallow pocket lower arms, it is a v8 sbc. i like the ride height and all. my question is the springs seem weak as for the car lifts up fast and comes down fast would like a stiffer stronger spring that wont let the car squat or come down so hard, havent hit the oil pan or headers yet but its going to happen if i dont get the frt end to keep from compressing. i dont know what springs are in the frt but they have been cut.
