Who makes the best lowered coil springs?

Im looking at swapping out my airbag setup and go back to coil springs. Who makes the best handling coil springs? My truck is a 1972 chevy shortbox with trailing arms. (Edited by Mod: Consider becoming a "subscribing" member)

IMO... look no further than ECE (Early Classic Enterprises).

Re: Who makes the best lowered coil springs?

Are you having problems with the air? What type of bag setup are you running? I know it may be a little off topic, but I ask because I think you can make your truck handle with the bags, depending on how you are set-up. Let us know what you have, and we may be able to make some suggestions to get you what you want without re-doing your whole supension.

ECE no doubt makes an excellent product. Whether or not it is the best handling is another point. Not say their components won't handle well, just that there are better, though slightly more complex, ways to make your truck, really handle.
