Well FWIW the Super Stock spring front segment is based off an A body spring & should be 2" shorter that a standard B body spring... But if that picture is your spring hanger it doesn't look like a Super Stock style hanger...

I don't know the length off the top of my head. You can flip the hanger over to make the car sit lower instead of different holes.

There is a difference in wheelbase, and so there are a few items that won't interchange. Coupe (post) quarter glass comes to mind, along with the drip rail ends as well.

Was planning on putting ss springs in the bee - already bought the springs and the hangers. Better look into this first. Bummer. 68 Satellite Wagon and a few other ones
