There's only one Moog part number that fits these cars AFAIK. Any parts store that carries Moog can order it, may even have them in stock. NAPA also sells Moog in their own branded box. Same parts.

I purchased those moog springs for my 91, I belive they are called Cargo Coils, I'm not sure on the part # though. Just a warning: I returned them because they made the rear of the car sit up 2-3 inches higher than before. I wound up going to GM and buying the rears for an IROC.

part# CC635 moog cargo coil, 54.95 at my local auto parts store. Any NAPA, or auto pride should carry them, just make a few calls and ask if they carry em

BTW, htere are not a model specified part, they are general, also they are a heavier spring than any of the factory styles, hence "cargo coil", your car will sit higher, but the ride is a lil better, no bottoming out the shocks on dips, and it gives the car a more old fashioned muscle look.

i ask this because i have a stereo system in my car, and now the springs seem to be gone and when i go over a bimp or sometimes pull into a place with a steep incline it bottoms out. I just wanted to bring it back to factory height. the rear end sits lower right now and i just wanted back level.

I don't want it to sit all high in the back, i'll like to sit level at the most one inch higher.

if i brought some suspension tech. springs would this help level the car out, eventhough they will lower the car about an inch.

thanks again guys,

Get the Moog ones. You'll like them. Your factory ones are just like everybody else's, so worn out that they're hardly even springs any more, they just look like springs. Don't even bother trying to compare ride height with functional springs to your current ride height, it's meaningless.

The height will go back to original, which is to say, higher than it is now.

"Spring worn out" = "spring lost its tension"

They're real cheap (like $60) and can be put in in less than 20 minutes. Try them and see.
