[FC] Coil Spring question

Fri Feb 21 13:12:01 2003

  I just got new ones for my GB Bob and they are noticeably heavier in the
back as I remember!  Sure helped the sag in the back end of mine!  I haven't
measured the height though.

Subject: [FC] Coil Spring question

Have a question about FC springs.
On a typical Brier, are the front and rear coil springs the same?  Did they 
vary, according to the engine size, and options?   Knowing that very few 
options, other than the DLX package were available on Briers....lol

I would assume the rears are heavier in diameter, but am not sure.
I would like a more "level" ride,  but would like to keep the ride height as

close to stock as possible.  The original springs have given their all over 
the last 40 years, and are telling me to  remove them... and let them live 
out their golden years in Florida.....<grins>...

Any and all input is appreciated.. as usual!!!
thanks
