I've read about people having problems w/ aftermarket bb springs in the front of their cars. I plan on replacing mine but not sure what to go with. I was hoping to drop the front 1 to 1 1/2 inches but don't really want the hassle of installing, removing cutting etc...

I used a 5536 spring and cut half a coil. I'm happy with the results. Firm ride not harsh. My profile has a pic before the half coil was cut. That droped it about half an inch.

how tall of a tire do you have on the front? i am looking at going with stock steel 15x7 wheels all the way around, and a 235/75 15 on the rear and a 225/75 15 on the front. I was planning on going with the moog 5413 HD spring on the rear and the 5390 on the front. But i spoke to a spring place who said the stock spring spec would be closer to the 5536? So i am just currious how much tire you have and do they rub?

Order the springs from Coil Spring Specialties and odds are you won't have to do any cutting,at all. They can build exactly what you want.
