that doesn't change the fact that if he gets some springs that have already been on a car, the ride height should go back to what he's expecting immediately.....there's no guarantee that those new springs are going to settle enough for his liking......

What's wrong with making the suspension move as it was designed to do? I didn't say blast down the damn road and wreck the car. The suspension needs to flex for it to settle completely. Gravity along can't do it quickly enough. Would you feel better if said take it down a bumpy road instead of a dirt road? Whichever, whatever.
Agreed, but he's already gone through the trouble of buying the new ones and installing them. Looking at the pictures, it doesn't look that far off from the picture in his signature. I truly believe they will settle back to what he's used to in a short amount of time.

Depending on how much you've driven the car since the spring install, I agree that the car will probably settle a bit, so don't do anything rash.
One question...did the shocks have an "upper" and "lower" spring cup position? If so, which one did you go with?

Third gen moog springs were the same way.
What type of ride height were you wanting? Springs sag overtime and when you put "new" springs in people can't believe how high the car sits.
Again this has been talked about countless times on the thirdgen.org board.

Are you sure those are the correct springs, or did you order Moog cargo springs? Those springs are from planet Moog. I have never seen anything like that on an Fbody before. The little barfing face says it all. You should barf on the springs, they look like F...ing Sh...t. Take the car out behind the garage and shoot it!
Seriously, Moog offers standard and cargo springs. The cargo springs are for beaters that sag in the back. Check it out and see if you were sent the wrong type of spring. Good Luck to you.

You're partially correct...the "Cargo Coils" are just for the rear, so the OP couldn't have put them in the front of his car......at least I hope not!!!

The problem with cutting them is that it basically changes everything. You have a spring thats designed to travel X amount given its spring rate. Cutting a spring thats meant to hold the car up at say 3 inches then cutting it down an inch, it wont be stiff enough to support the bodys weight.
And measuring them every few days to see if they are dropping at all is a really good idea too.

I have heard nothing but good things about strano springs, I might go that route as long as theyre not a huge drop. Or I might just get some stock used ones, I havent been driving it much & dont want to until I get that front end lowered down some. These cars look better lowered but I dont want to be dragging & scraping everything.

thats the height of strano springs. Its perfect if you ask me
I do not have any issues bottoming out. and my town is pretty rough. some spots I have to be careful though. Nothing serious though. I always told myself I would never lower my car till I saw my car with strano springs.... lol
