Carl Nelson (or similar) front lowering springs please!)

[SlowRide27]

Hi Team - I have a 1969 2800cs engine swapped to an S52 motor. The front ride height is about an inch higher than the rear and I would like to level out the car (or slight positive rake) without ending up with a super stiff suspension. Does anyone have Carl Nelson front springs for sale or know how to find them? thank you!

I have bc racing coilovers brand new welded already welded to spindles I can sell. They have adjustable dampening.

I really appreciate the offer...are they adjustable height? If so would it be possible to speak via voice? I am admittedly an amateur with respect to suspension setups for this car.

Did you call Carl directly? Go to our Faq for best sources for parts and search for "nelson" - he is at La jolla independent:

We tend to repeat information within threads, so perhaps it would be a good idea to keep a running list of where to find things. I will be adding more things to this, and editing / adding based on comments. Restoration Coupeking (USA) - www.coupeking.com The Werk Shop (USA) -...

So, before you buy parts, check to ensure that the 3/4" aluminum spacers BMW installed to meet US DOT headlight height requirements are not installed at the top of the strut. Part Number 15 here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=3425-USA-04-1970-E9-BMW-2800CS&diagId=31_0451

Simple and cheap to remove them if they have not previously been removed.

You may want to consider Paul Baker springs too - progressive springs. They are discussed here:
