    1963 Skylark Convertible Suspension

    Hi,

    New to the form, just picked up very clean 1963 Skylark convertible, suspension is orig and would like to replace Springs.

    I note these springs are tough to find. Before I spend money on custom made springs , are there compatible MOOG springs from other cars I can use?

    Thks

    the Olds F-85 from 1961-63 is the same frame / body style as your car. there may be more options for that?

    Rich, congrats on the buy. Why replace springs? I would be surprised if they need replacing. My '50 springs checked out right in the center of the specs in the shop manual.

    Springs

    Ben,

    Thanks, the car sits really low to the floor, scrapes just pulling in driveway.

    Coil Spring Specialties can make me a full set for about 300.00, I my go with them.

    Thks
