I'm at the point in my restoration that I need to buy a set of front coil springs. The car is a 1968 Chevelle with a 396 BB, No air. I would rather have the car sit a bit lower in the front than higher. Can anybody recommend a Moog part number?? I fought with the the front coils spring height on my previous car and I dont want to keep taking out the springs to get the right ride height. Thanks in advance...

Why are the no a/c springs lower.....Are the w/ a/c springs taller.... Why are they this way Rizzi?

Could I get the no a/c and still run a/c?
How much of a lower stance do they give over the w/ a/c?

Correct spring non-ac is 5400. W/ AC is 5374. Both of these have longer free heights than the 5390 I just installed on my 69. Mine does have alum heads, intake and radiator. Had to trim 1/2 coil to get the ride height I like. Compressed spring length at ride height should 11" for these cars at factory ride height.

THX Bro......I have the front end off now.......... Going all moog, figured while the springs are off, why not replace em too since replacing everything else.....

note that is not listed as per moog cataloging / they specify in their f2925 coil spring catalog part number 5374 w/o ac and part #5400 w/ac 396 s/s and sport coupe 1968.The site listed is not Moog.

The 5374 (1957 lbs. @ 11") is a much lighter spring than the 5400 (2171lbs. @ 11").
