I've searched all the forums about this and need Moog spring recommendations:

Car: 87 GN - 105k miles w/ac - weekend driver and once in a while track car - car is in TN. Stock rims and tires.

Desired results: stock height and not too stiff, (have Bilsteins ordered). Not looking to cut coils.

Combo: Moog #5660 frnts and Moog #CC651 or
Moog #5606 frnts and Moog #5379

If you are looking for stock ride height and you are not sagging now just install the bils and then see how you like it. They will make the ride stiffer than you think.

Yes, only problem is the left rear "sags" compared to the rr. Getting ready to do a frnt rebuild (all Moog parts) and rear suspension bushings - reason for doing the springs at the same time. Thanks.

PS 1st reply on all four board postings :yesnod:

Kind of weird your lr is sagging when the rr takes all the force from a launch. Is the rr bagged. I did a post on this in the turbobuicks forum and got alot of opinions there, check it out. Do a search with (handle like a vette) and you should find it. I went with the stiff camaro fronts and it is not that stiff but handles turns great and still riding on 215-65-15s. Check out that thread, there was a few attachments in there that will help you.

Yeah, don't know if the 1st lady owner was "fat", second owner weighed less than me. No bags on the rear. I'll re-check that Vette link you mentioned. Thanks.
