Does anyone have comments or opinions on the stock type coil spring sets from SuperCars Unlimited? They advertise factory rates to restore to original ride and height. Thanks

 

Or you could just go to your local autoparts store and get a set of moog factory springs.

 

I was thinking that too but the first two I tried (NAPA and a private store) did not show anything for Olds or so they said. I have a listing of Moog springs with the rates etc but it's just too many combinations for me to figure out. I haven't been able to come up with any that exactly match the factory specs. If anyone has a part number for them I would prefer Moog. I don't mind a slight nose-down but nothing radical.
Thanks

 

Try OPGI, they use the moog part numbers.

Will do...thanks much

 

Or try rockauto low prices and they sell the moogs that where I got mine

 

I actually got all my moog front end stuff from there this go around. Very pleasant experience and pricing!!

 

AFAIK, Moog doesn't list springs for the early 442s. At least, their 1981 catalog doesn't, and doesn't show tangential end front coils with around 425 lb/in.

 

Moog 6041 is 499 #'s
Moog 5272 is 327 #'s - I used these in my car with a BBC and the front went up from stock and is pretty stout.

I have used supercars unlimited a few times. Greg Rollin who owns it usually trys almost everything that they sell. I have had good luck with their products
