Default Camaro/Nova Coil Springs

Alright, I have a 67 Camaro and had to put a new subframe on the front of it, well the shop I took it to found/had a cheap 1970 Nova Subframe that he put on and it worked out well, but now the front end sits up a little higher than it did before. My questions is are the front coil springs from the 67-69 Camaro and the 68-74 Nova the same height? From the looks of it, it seems like the Nova sits up a little higher, but I can't find any specs in writing that will tell me the stock height of the two. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Find out if the nova had AC, they are heavier springs on the AC cars.

there are a bunch of possible variables. big-block, small-block, six cylinder,A/C car, non-A/C car or any combo of two not to mention the possibility of an aftermarket spring.

there is no way of telling. it might even be that your springs were just junk and sat lower and you were even losing performance from them. your best bet is to put new springs in. when you did the swap you should have replaced everything before putting it in anyway. safer and much easier than doing it now
