Front spring length
 
I'm trying to figure out the length of the front springs needed for my LS2 conversion in my '04. I'm probably going with 2.5" Eibach's, Koni's, and GC coilovers.

Thanks for your help,
Jon

Depends on your spring rate and desired ride height. I'm not sure if Bilsteins are the same height as Koni's, but I use 6" long 550 lb/in front springs and have been at 12" and 13" hub to fender, but I don't remember how much adjustability I had on either side of those ride heights.

I would also say that with my experience, Bilstein are much higher quality than Koni, but others seem to have decent luck with Koni's.

Thanks for the info.
