Hello to everybody !
I want to change the springs on my 72-ElCamino-SS and go a little bit lower than stock. Will the Chevelle-Springs fit the ElCamino ( e.g. EIB 3856-140 ).
Thanks
Uwe

They should, BUT IMHO, why not just buy a set of 2" lowering springs
from Summit or Jegs that are for sure rated for the Elky? Reason I say this is you didn't say if the springs for the Chevell would be New or
used that came off a chevell. A set would run you under a $100 and
be a matched set. Also you didn't say whether they were for a veh. with
or without AC. Those are all variables when looking at coils and how
they are rated. I would give all this consideration before just slapping on
a set.

I looked at Summit, but no lowering springs for a 72-ElCamino !!! ( By the way, the chevelle-springs are new and my car was originally with AC, but the previous owner removed most of the hardware )

In that case, you should be fine with the change out.
