Re: ''IROC'' springs

they are the same given the same RPO spring codes. BZW and BZX front springs are fairly common IROC/WS6 springs, with NNL being the rears.

Re: ''IROC'' springs

i just bought the 5662 and 5665 moog's from summit for 125 shipped, got the fronts today, supposedly get the rears friday. the fronts look pretty tall right now though, i'd say a 14" free height. they're supposed to be stock height. that seems about right to me from what i was reading before i bought them.

My 5662 springs were shorter (free height) than the stock BZW springs I took out of my IROC, they were also a thicker wire tha the stock ones.

Yes, my new ones also seem to be thicker than the ones on the car, but I can't comment on the free height of the stock ones until I pull them out. When I install the new springs I'll take a side profile picture to compare with my signature pic.

So what is the difference between the bzw and the bzx?i dont want to lower it i just want it to handle better than my worn out stockers.So im guessing that my best bet would be to order the moog springs if i want a stock spring correct?could i not get the stock spring from the parts store?

FYI. My 5662 fronts sit at a smidge below 27 inches, the rear higher. I purchased mine at CarQuest and saved a bit of coin.
