Thread: 1965 riviera rear coil springs needed.

  1. #1

    1965 riviera rear coil springs needed.

    Hi, I am in Australia so I can't just go to a wreckers for these, my car has hydraulic suspension and in our wonderful.....country its not legal so can anyone give me a contact for these. Moog 5035 spring are obsolete I believe so second hand would be fine as I need to consider shipping costs also.
    thanks

    circle track ( i know you guys run sprint cars on roundy rounds, Tony Stewart punched one of your track promoters a few years back ) parts suppliers will be happy to make any custom spring you want, for height, spring rate, diameter and number of coils.

    since you're going to have to install spring buckets while you're doing this, you may as well make them adjustable. that way you can fine tune how much rake you want in the car or adjust for handling balance.

    IF you can't find any joy Down Under

    I have a front & rear pair from a '65 Riv GS I just removed to install new springs into. Funny thing is the replacement springs actually brought the front & rear ride height down instead of up. I tried to tell him that what was there were the original springs installed from the factory & they really didn't need replacing as the car ONLY has 50K miles on it/them. Problem is I won't ship overseas ONLY to a U.S. address.
