Guys with 5660, 5662, 5664 springs- post up!

The 76 also has Al intake and no AC at the moment. Plus I think I milled/ported 30 lbs off the heads/block. lol

If I go with these springs I will swap the hotchkin rear springs from my Camaro. I just dont want the front on the TA as low as the Camaro.

 

Well i installed my new springs last night, I have about 1.5 inches before I hit the bumpstops. Havent drove her yet bu I can already tell that its going to be a better ride that what I had. I love the srance that it has. BTW what is the best way to go about lowering the rear a little I think it would look better if it was about 1-2 inches lower in the rear. AHHH dreaming about the autocross circut next year already.....

 

Any before and after pics? How much did it lower it? What engine combo do you have?

 

Try looking into these...

I didnt take any before pics because the car was actually bottomed out because the springs were too short. I have some before pics of the old springs before I cut them but i will have to find them and post. What a peice of cake putting these springs in, I had it done in an hour and a half.

Your f/e weight should be about the same as mine, so a good reference. Do you have a/c also?

 

the car did have A/C but being the speed freak that I am I removed it, I do plan on putting it back in with an updated compressor and new condenser.

 

FYI....the Moog 5664's are 51.00 now at Amazon

 

thanks, I just put my order in! : )

 

Hey Todd, did you install the 5664's w/out the isolators first and then install the isolators? The reason I am asking is that I cut too much out of mine and was wanting to raise it about .5 inch and wasn't sure if they actually raised it that much. I was also thinking of getting the Energy Suspension 9.6101's and just milling them down to the thickness that I need to get it where I want it. I think the 9.6101's are a harder material than the Moogs.
