i've asked this multiple times but have gotten no replies but here goes, what moog springs give the most drop both front and rear. i have looked at the spec sheet multiple times but i cant make sense of any of the terminology, sorry if i sound stupid, maybe i'm just lazy. 😳

I've posted this a hundred times. Moog 5658 give an 1.5" drop, but you have a V6, so it'll be more like an inch drop. Moog 5413 will drop the rear almost an inch.

Actually there's a very simple way to cut a spring with a torch. Immerse the spring in a bucket of water so the water line is just below the cut line. Now torch away. I've done this many times with no ill effects to the springs.

i can see that working. i like it. especially if you have the torch set right you won't have time to destroy the heat treat of the steel.
