cant get the right springs!
ok i just replaced my rear shocks and springs and my plan was to also replace front struts and springs so i got struts and that was fine but im now on my 3rd set of springs and every set is like 4 inchs longer then the stock springs yet they are the right part number for the listing in all the shops ive been toso maybe all the places have the wrong numbers? so my question is do anyone know how long the springs should be and does anyone have the right part numbers? the ones im returning tomorrow have the part number fcs5598s and they are roughly 15.5" long

Depending on what the spring was dezigned for it will be longer.
Not sure about all of them but front drag springs tend to be longer, and have a smaller diameter wire.

From what I remember, my Moog fronts were a little higher than my worn out stock WS6 springs. I can't give you a length at the moment, but I'd go with Moog replacements; #5662 fronts, #5665 rears. Give it a month or so for the new springs to settle.
