I haven’t had the car sitting with all of its weight on its wheels, but a buddy of mine is using the same combo and his is sitting just about right
Believe them to still be the originals, they appear to have been in there a LONG time. However, the rear axle has been swapped, so can't say for sure one way or the other.
5662, 305 no ac, stock 14" rim & tire.
*These were installed and have no road miles. Expect some amount of settling.
Tomeal that’s what I’m aiming for...I have 14s stocks with 205 tires and I know for a fact the springs are either cut or short. The 5662 for the front or back?
Front, the ends of the springs are different for the rear.
No hood or header panel, but the extra weight didn't make much a difference when I put them on.
