Will these springs fit

[adrianMCmoreno]

Just a quick question before I buy these moog 5660 front springs. Will they fit into the stock lower control arms, I ask because I see everyone recommending these springs but that they have aftermarket arms.

Thanks

Forgot to put it's a 1980 monte carlo

Yup. They fit right in even with stock arms.

I installed them with 245/45X17 tires with 1/2 inch taller upper ball joints. Had to take back out and remove half a coil off the top to get MY right stance.SBC with ac.

bunch of us are using that spring, each 1/4 coil cut drops the G body 1"

Not trying to drop or necessarily raise just stiffen and get the right side to sit up

What's the advantage of those springs? Looks like they are z28 springs. Just a better spring rate for handling?

Per http://jeffd.50megs.com/Moog_Spring_Page.htm (which I studied until my eyes bled before I bought the 5660's for my front end) have a higher Spring Rate, which simply means it takes more weight to compress the spring 1" (420 vs. 640 lb./in) meaning the ride will be a little stiffer. Nothing like "Go-Kart Ride" just stiffer - I also went with 5391's in the back for the same reason.. Add load adjusting shocks (basically a spring around the shock) and you have a good, stiff ride with none of the classic "bounce bounce" after a dip in the road.
