Re: Moog 5562 and 26" tall tires

Just did this on my car last week - put the 5662's in the front and I was at 29.5" from wheel well lip to floor. the gap from the tire was like 4"'s. After reading for a few days on here I took the springs out and cut just under 3/4 of the bottom coil off and put them back in. I was at 27.5" from wheel well lip to floor and like 2"s from top of tire to wheel well lip. Doing this raised the spring rate to like 780 from the stock moog of 704 but took it for a drive today and it seemed stiff but not too stiff. So far I'm happy with the way it came out. Have to find some railroad tracks an let you know...
