Posted February 5, 200322 yr comment_25682 Gotta give that rear end a little lift I'm looking for a set of new rear springs, the ones that keep the car at original height. I have the front pair, now all I need is the back pair. dnklovstad@msn.com Dwight Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4574-rear-springs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 9, 200322 yr Author comment_26242 Just wanted to revive the post and see if anybody had a set of rear springs........ I'd be willing to split up a set if someone out there needed front springs and we could find them OEM style.

February 10, 200322 yr comment_26256 Hi Dwight-I have a set of original springs from my 260 (early 74') with about 77K on them. They seem to be pretty stiff still and in good shape. When I lowered my car with Eibach's my car lowered more than expected (close to 2" not the 1 - 1 1/2 " usually encountered) which makes me think they hadn't sagged as much as others. Not 100% certain about the sag part just my opinion. What year car do you have? Not sure if my springs would be compatible but I'm not using them, they're just sitting in a box. I put on 240 springs for my 260 so maybe they'd work?! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4574-rear-springs/#findComment-26256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 10, 200322 yr comment_26262 Hi Dwight-I'd be very fair. PM me and we can talk about it pending they fit.:classic: I doubt shipping would be too bad. Luckily they don't weigh too much and I'm in Denver so we're pretty close, relatively.

February 10, 200322 yr comment_26263 Dwight-looking at my Haynes manual, the spec's they give for the rear springs seem to be the same for the 240 and 260. The fronts are different in wire diameter (stiffer for 260) and # of turns making the 260 length longer than the 240.
