This link will apply to you too.

Moog 5664s They may need to be cut for proper ride height. That would make them stiffer though, which you would like.

You guys seem to be dancing around the obvious...
I'm doing the same thing very soon, buying new springs that aren't meant to lower the car.... Very lonely market...
I think Moog is a good choice, but stick with ones meant for your car. I think RB posted a while ago about this, try a search, but essentially go to a parts store, and get them to find you springs for a '92 or so camaro Z-28. (the pinnacle of 3rd gen technology...).... with sport suspension, or WS-6, or something like that.
I tried checking Moog's website, maybe it's just me, but it's only about investing in the company, no product specs... I hate it.... anyway, let me know what you go with, i'll be buying some soon...

bastard... How do you do it????
Well, thanks!
I looked up my car, '82, firebird (TA wasn't in the list), and it gave me the front springs, excluding trans-am.... Peachy, since they don't give the option of a TA....
Then a '92 Camaro Z-28, gave P/N 5662. Sounds good to me....
Do factory springs wear out? Should I upgrade mine anyway, or should I check if they're still good? (having WS-6 springs as it is...)
I'm asking these questions for you IROC
not hijacking your thread of course....
