Does anyone who uses Moog CC501 springs in the rear have a picture of their
car you could show me?? I am thinking of going with these springs for my 71
chevelle and would like to see a picture of these springs installed on a 70-71-72 for reference.
Thanks

I have tried those springs on my '72 and it sit 1" lower than with the 30 year old stock springs.

I was under the impression that the cc501 was supposed to raise the rear by
1 inch ? I'm about fed up with this spring ****, I think I will just stick with my
risers and call it good. I can't believe there is not a company out there that makes a spring that is 1 or 2 inches over that of a stock spring.
Some of us still like the raked look.

The cc springs are design so the car don't squat down with a load. You can call moog and they will send you a catalog with all the spring and specks.If you want a cc spring try a cc507.

Go to Auto zone and get a set of 71 station wagon springs. They will give you the look your looking for. I did this with my 68 LeMans I had years ago.

If you go with the wagon spring you might have to get shock extentions or the shocks will top out and come apart. I did that in my 72 Chevelle about 20 years ago when the raked look was in. What a terrible ride, But it looked cool with the big tires sticking out. Chicks love it!! LOL.

With station wagon springs and w/o

Here are the pics....

thanks for the pics. I think the wagon springs are a little to high for my tastes. I have decided to just go with the cc501 and use my spacer.
Thanks.

I put in a pair of Air Lift 1000 bags. They go inside the stock coils. Rides nice and you can adjust the look anywhere from stock to about 2 inches up. It's easy to get the perfect look you want for under $100.

Twenty years ago my car had air shocks, so I know what that felt like. This feels like a dream in comparison. I run only 8lbs in each one and the fender lip is just above my 275/60 tires that stick out a bit.

These are the ones I use:

I believe we installed them with the stems at the top. And we used the dual line setup, so that each side can be inflated independantly.

Yes. Are those what you are refering to as risers?

Are you currently using them?

They work great for me!

No I actually have a 1 1/2" steel riser that sits under the coil on top of the perch. I may not need it now since I'm using the cc501's and the drag bags.
I'll know soon as I plan to install my new 12 bolt this weekend.:thumbsup:

Hopefully the Moog's AREN'T lower than stock so that you have to run a lot of air to get the height you want. My stock coils and the bags work great.

I also put a new pair of GM stock springs in front for my big block that keeps it setting up nice how I like it too!

Moog makes a CC505 that is 1-2" higher than the CC501's. I bought them for my 69, but it raised it too high for my tastes. Sold them on ebay and bought the 501's. The 501's do squat down over time.
