Big block coil springs

Big block coil springs
I have been looking for some big block front coil springs for my 67 Camaro. Due to the raised suspension in the rear with over sized tires and leaf springs, I am afraid of the car bottoming out in the front. I cannot find any springs online; all of the springs I find are lowered a few inches (I don't want this). Can someone give me a link where I can buy some?

You're car has a good looking stance now. It wouldn't look as good if you raise the front. And your front end isn't nearly as low as I've seen on others. I do have a couple ?'s:
Do you have a b.b in there?
Have you ever bottomed out at all?
Do you have low hanging headers or oil pan?
Do you intend on going off-roading?

The oil pan and the headers do not hang low.
The roads here in Saskatchewan are terrible. I have hit my front spoiler numerous times already. Its taken quite a beating and I have had to reattach it more then once. Its just plain embarrassing trying to show off by peeling away and you here this loud *SCRRAAAPPPPPPPE*.
I just want stiffer front springs with less give and I should be alright. I cannot find a link anywhere for BB springs.

I like the cars stance too (beautiful car by the way) and would not raise it if it were mine.
You might consider a heavier shock upgrade instead of heavier springs.
Maybe a set of coil overs.

I feel your pain. I lived 65 miles outside Spokane when I bought my Camaro in the 70's. We used to get these little twist-in spacers that fit between the coils. You'd jack up the car and let the suspension hang, then put the spacer on the end of a 1/2" ratchet and extension, and twist/screw them in between two of the coils. You would put one in front, and one in the rear of each coil. I got them from NAPA, they may still carry the part. It isn't elegant, but it is functional when you live in a remote rural area with bad roads. I had a slight lift on my Camaro for years, until I moved to the city and kept it on paved roads. Then I got 6-cylinder springs and cut out a coil. Those springs are on it today.

In my opinion, big block springs are going to raise your car too much in front and give you a jaw jarring ride. it might even give you alignment problems
just try a stock small block "heavy duty" spring. that is what they put in A/C cars. check out Eaton Spring. they are the leading resto spring manufacturer
