Hey Steve, if you're still wanting BB springs, go to firewheelclassics.com. $79.95 per pair

i choped my rear springs, and ended up not liking it because when the axle droops at full length they fall out... not good for safety and emmisions. i need to go to a junkyard to find new ones, so who know what vehicles besides the camaro have the same springs. my car is a 85 3rd gen

i would leave it alone ..i did the same mistake do to doing a 510 big block i replaced the front coils to a big block moog coils and the car drove like a dog almost like a all wheel drive truck went back to small block coils everything is back to normal again

You can install a spring retainer kit to hold the springs in place.
