Now it's too high in the front. Will it come down a bit after the springs relax? I sure hope so. These were supposed to be 1" lower than stock just like the rear ones, I recently replaced.

haha, thats exactly whats happened to mine when i re-built my front suspension, prolly raised it a good 2 inches. They should relax a little bit, but im pretty sure thats just how shitty my old springs were. The back springs are prolly shot too, and if you put new ones on it will most likely level it out. I liked it lower so im probably gonna get some drop spindles for the front.
 
I've never seen springs settle at all. Only factory springs seem to droop after 10-20 years.
 
Wow, I went and got new replacement spring hoping to get that stance. But mine is lower that yours. Maybe they sent you the wrong springs?
 
Mine did exactly the same thing which is why I took a coil out which corrected it and put it exactly the way I wanted. The springs settle within the first 5 miles of driving. What you're looking at is what you get.

The box I recieved said, Moog #5660 and it was sealed.

I haven't driven it around yet. If I don't like em after a few months. I'll whack a coil off. That should take care of the problem!
 
Be carefull! Cut a bit at a time. You can allways cut more, but you can't add it back on.
 
I'd say start with half a coil and go from there. I took a full coil and a quarter out to get the height that I have now.

PS You can always ad it back on...just a little duck tape lol :mrgreen:
 
stock V6 springs is the way to go.gives you good height and a good ride :puke: .those springs will not settle.
