Firmest front springs for a first gen?

[Raffaelli]

 1994 Lumina Z34. Already have the rear end taken care of, and I wanted to beef up the front. Anyone know of the firmest springs I can get for the front of that strut design? I think I read something a while ago about 1996 Monte Carlo 3.4 front springs would be it. Suggestions?

There are no longer aftermarket *performance* springs manufactured for the 1st gen W's, if you've got the FE3 suspension under the car then you've already got the stiffest springs available.

I take it that you want lower the front to match the dropped rear's ride height?

Not lower. Just have the best/highest spring rating chevy offered.

The springs are not a *Chevy* thing....all 1st Gen W's with the FE3 got the stiffest coils available. What's under your Z34 is also under a GP with the FE3 suspension.

I gotcha. Just was wondering if there was something beefier for the W-Body I should look for.

I did a bit of digging on this a while ago and unfortunately if you want to change anything about the suspension rate in these cars now past what FE3 gives you'll either need to contact a spring shop or figure out how to fit coilovers on the car. There were custom coilover mounts available here but the last batch sold out years ago. I'm sure there are springs out there that fit the car and provide a stiffer rate than stock but as far as I'm aware nobody has come across ones that fit.

Spring shops can only install what's available in the aftermarket, & FE3's are not one of them. The springs availability is *generalized*, only the basic spring would be available.
