I have the 5662s and the 5409s on my '88 Cutlass that I am redoing. The 5409s on

the back look just about right, however, the 5662s have raised the front more
than stock. And this is with a BBO under the hood. I have all the A/C stuff
re-installed and the hood on and it is still too high. I only need to put the
windshield in, but I don't think this is going to bring it down to where I want
it. I am tempted to just cut the 5662s, but they are REALLY stiff already. I
will probably sell the 5662s and buy a set of 5660s and cut them down a little.
