Corvair Forum

Hey all, I have been looking for rear coils springs for my 62. I found 2 styles on clarks, and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with either or both styles. The part numbers I'm looking at are...

C3026R - stock
C3926R - heavy duty, will not lower the vehicle

If anyone has any knowledge on how good or bad either of these spring are I would appreciate any help. Thanks In advance.

I don't have any personal experience with the clarks springs but did your car have the HD suspension package? It would have a front sway bar and limiting straps on the rear suspension.

It does not have a front sway bar and when I took thebrear apart I don't recall it having limiting straps.

A friend had a 62 Spyder with the HD suspension the rear straps had rotted off but the loops they mounted to were still on the crossmember and lower control arms. Unless you are wanting a firmer, more sporty ride I think I would go for the stock setup.

The car was my dad's and I'm just looking to make it good again and not ha e the rear sag anymore.

I have a brand new, unused, pair of Clarks springs, P/N C3026R. You can have them for the same price of Clarks except I'll pay the shipping. See Photo'

After years the original rear springs sag. New original style will correct that, you don't need HD springs unless you want a stiffer ride.

The front springs barely lower with age, and they were high when new for trunk load rating. I usually just replace the rears with original and car sits level... Just me.
