Moog springs came in today...

I just got my front springs in from summit today. 5662 for the fronts and cc635 for the rears. These things are huge the fronts weigh in at 27 lbs. Hopefully I'll get these things in this weekend if i can get some help. Not counting on it but oh well......here they are

I believe if not mistaken that the "CC" on the rears stand for cargo coils and will raise your car to high in the rear, I believe I had the same ones but cannot remember the number, but I do remember it started with CC, and it raised my car Approx. 3" in the rear and it seemed to high. Let us know . Benny

I have those same front ones and they fit excellent.

Yep, those rears look like my old ones, get a before and after measurement on the rear, mine was very high after installation.

Did you keep them on your rear or did you change them out for something else?

Also, I'm adding a 4th gen rear end, so the extra height in the rear from the cargo coils might actually do me some good seeing how I dont plan on running 4th gen wheels anytime soon.

We put a 4th gen rearend on a '90 IROC and the rearend is 3" wider than a 3rd gen rearend, we also used the stock 4th gen springs and they were to high. I changed the moog springs back to stock on my car. If you use the 4th gen wheels on the 4th gen rearend it might not stick out.

I know. Im aware that they will stick out an extra 1.5" on each side. What I'm saying is that the added height of the cargo coils might help me because I plan on running my stock 92 wheels in the rear on a 4th gen rear end. That way I dont have to worry about the tires rubbing in the wells.

I believe that will work, it just looked weird with the stock 3rd gen wheels on a 4th gen rearend with it that high, we were thinking off cutting one coil off to offset the height, but he sold the rearend and put a thirdgen back in.

Springs and ride height

I'm running Moog 5664's in front with 80 % of a coil cut off. In the rear I have the Cargo Coils. For now, it has a V6, and the interior is stripped of everything, except from the two front seats. The ride height is 27-RF; 27 1/8 LF; 30 1/4 RR; 30 LR. I'm leaving the rear springs alone for now. After I get Sub Frame connectors, and some other suspension parts, {as well as a new black interior put back in }I might cut some off of the rear. For now though, I dont' mind how it looks. {It's kind of growing on me}

Normal ride height for the rear should be the same as the front, those moog cargo coils simply raise the rear too high, I returned mine and got some IROC springs from the junkyard and it went back to normal height. Those cargo coils are made for hauling heavy stuff, however I believe those are the only kind of rear springs that MOOG makes for the 3rd gen.
