For the first time in 19 years she has driven around the block! I'm so excited and this is my first 3rd gen BUT she sits too low in the front. It has Belltech spindles and unknown lime green rear coils. The original owner said they were 1" rear springs and 1" front but I am not sure. I am thinking about Moog 5660 (600#) for the front and leaving the rear alone. I'd love for it to sit level. Any opinions and pics of Moog 5660 or 5662 front springs?

Those spindles are cool pieces. I'll be interested to see how it sits with these Moog springs in there.

I've tried Moog 5662 (spring rate 706lbs) & Moog 5658 (spring rate 579lbs).

5662 = Sat too high for my liking, cutting would raise the spring rate and I didn't want any harsher of a ride.
5658 = Sits just barely too low, sometimes hits the bumpstops, overall rode very nicely but need to raise.

I am thinking either 5660 (639lbs) or 5608 (420lbs and taller load/free height) to try next.

Yeah I'm hoping with the Belltech spindles which I think are 2" lowering, the 5662 should be a good fit. I hope anyway.

Oh yeah, if they are 2" lowering then the 5662 should be great!

The 5662 may sit slightly higher and the 5660 should fit slightly lower than stock.
