moog replacement springs
hey guys
was wondering if these would be a great replacement for my worn out old stock springs.. dont really care for performance just wanna replace the rusty tired springs...
front springs

back springs

i dont want to get lowering springs because my exhuast setup is already low enough and scrapes at times being that i have long tube headers....

Re: moog replacement springs
Check in my sig those are the exact ones I installed on my car... They raised the car quite a bit but i prefer it this way in the sense that it still handles good and i can drive it without scraping anything and actually enjoy the car.. although i might lower it with drop spindles (the right way!) next year... I like it like this though.. You will need an alignment after installing them but they are really stiff and provide a nice ride with my tokico blue shocks/struts.

the moog springs... how much higher are they from stock.... i wouldnt mind it being raised a little bit to help with exhaust clearance... did your handling or anything suffered with these springs.... how is the ride..

Re: moog replacement springs
The rear sits higher than the front and the car all around is ALOT higher than I had with my stock sagging springs.. Still, I would like to lower it some but it rides great i have to say, stiffer but it feels like it takes the bumps alot better. There is a slight rake on the car. It's at the garage right now but as soon as I get it back and fixed i'll be able to tell you how high it is from the ground and i'll measure fender gap too. I also put in 4th gen isolators which are a bit thicker so they would be a bit lower with 3rd gen ones which aren't as thick... All in all it was a good purchase but I will probably install 2" drop spindles next season when the budget permits
