I watched for other irocs here but you dont see them when you really need too. lol, to compare mine too.--Who here has installed these and have no problem with hieght and if possable give me your tire to fender clearence.------ COULD IT BE, that after i chang my front to [5662] it will help the stance [height] in rear ??

After 240,000 miles, your stock springs were probably sagged & your comparing the new cars ride height to your old ones.

They do sit pretty high. It helps if you take out the isolater, use some heater hose on the top coil instead. The 5662's should raise the front back up as well.

Re: CORRECT SPRING I HOPE ????
I'm using the 5665's. I removed the isolator and replaced with radiator hose. I also cut a bit of the coil. Fairly satisfied at 27 3/4". The 5662's are at just under 27", which gives the car a bit of a rake. I've read that OE ride height is 27 1/2".
