    Wondering what the part number is for front springs for a 350 skylark to give it a nice factory stance? A/C has been removed.
    All I can find on here is 455 spring specs. Part# 5398
    I found a 5385 which I think they said was for a skylark but the numbers are way different

    GS455
    5398 Rate 362 lbs.
    Load 1678 lbs.

    Skylark 350
    5385 Rate 166 lbs.
    Load 602 lbs.

    Seems like quite a difference

    Found the perfect springs for mine both front & rear. Exactly at factory height, nice smooth ride.
    Tried the 455 pieces & found way too rough.

    Wish I could find the old thread with the coil numbers on it.
    The 5385 sounds familiar but won't bet on it yet.
    Spring & load rates can be confusing as they are not as easy to decipher as first appears.
    Something like the movement of the first inch takes 362 lbs. on the 5398. After that it changes.
