Been talking to a lot of people, Googling also. Put the MOOG 5604 springs in my 1983 HO a few years back, wanted a bit more height, it's too much. Car calls for MOOG 5602's in the front. MAY put them in. Rear called for MOOG 5379, they are in the car. would like to drop the rear 1-1.5" also. Anyone change their springs? Post pictures. I want the car more like the BEFORE LOOK, the MOOG's are a bit too high. Suggestions? Thanks, it's been a while... time to check the forum!

This site discusses different Moog springs for our cars:

I think if you're wanting to obtain the look in the second picture and use Moog springs, you'll probably end up cutting 1/4 coil off at a time to achieve the desired height. You could even do this with your current 5604s.
