I need to start the "What did you do to your G-body this WEEK thread?", can't get hardly anything done in a day! Monday/Tuesday-Installed Moog 5660 springs in the front,too tall, raised 1/2" from stock.. Wednesday/Thursday-Removed and cut 1/2 coil, reinstalled, maybe OK, 1/2" ? lower than stock now. Need to tighten LA bolts and take measurements from same spot in the driveway. Friday, family stuff and drinking.

I'm always amused by people that install new springs in a 30+ year old car that complain they're taller than "stock". Usually it's the guys that are installing lowering springs. The thing is, the "stock" springs these guys are comparing the new ones to are used up, worn out and saggy. Almost all of these cars had a considerable gap from the top of the tire to the wheelwell opening when new.

I put 5660s in my wagon, ended up right where I wanted it to be....rocker level to the ground front to back.

That is why I went with drop spindles. My car road nice and I have a v6. I did not know what spring would give me the hight I wanted. Drop spindles create some fitment issues with some wheels though.

I suspected the 5660's may make the front taller than stock, but did not want to cut them before getting a baseline measurement. Then I could trim them to my preferred height. I wanted the increased spring rate in addition to hitting a height.
