: Aftermarket coil springs suck right?

I have lost a full inch and a half on my front coils (71 Chevelle 454 car)that were installed new two years back . They were about 1/2 an inch high when I first installed them and I did expect them to settle in a bit but this sucks!
I am hoping that I can find a decent front coil spring spacer option that will get me back at least 3/4 " so I can maintain the stock ride height.
Anyone know of a good spacer option?
Thanks all!

W hat brand of spring did you buy? I have always used Moog never a problem. The spacers aren't what you want, replace the springs , I think even Moog has a tech line.

They were moog springs but I guess I got a weak set.

I have heard that there is a spacer that goes under the coil and sits in the pocket where it cant be seen.
Has anyone knowledge of this?
Thanks all.
