I got a 91 camaro RS with a v8. As I pulled in my drive I noticed the whole passenger side dropped lower than the drivers. I found the struts bad and figured that this would not cause the side to drop so I bought a set of Moog 5662 springs. After installing, the front is about 4 inches to high. Does anyone know what springs I need? I want to retain the factory ride height. Please any help would be appreciated.

 

Did you index the springs properly? That will make it sit way high. Also keep in mind your factory springs could have been worn out and sagging, making the car lower than it would have been stock.

 

4" too high sounds like you just pulled the jack out & judged it by that & did drive the car any. Drive it around the bloc, or at least up & down the street, and then see how it sits.

Just dropping it down & not moving the car does not allow the suspension to settle.

 

I contacted a rep for Moog. He said the proper spring was #5604.

 

Maybe so, but different springs won't account for a 4" difference. Have you moved the car yet? Yes or no?

 

5604 is WAY taller but way softer.

The 5662 that you used should not make the car sit higher. Check your spring index as mentioned above & roll the car as I already mentioned above. My bet is that 1 or the other (or both combined) will fix your height issue.

 

I actually drove the car around. Still sitting higher. I carried it to a mechanic to check things out, and he said that even if the springs haven't index, it would not cause the front to sit that much higher. The rep for Moog said that the 5604 spring rate would be correct. Info coming from everywhere, and I still pulled on what to do.
