Lowering springs question

Does anyone know of a moog spring part number that can be used to lower my 71 cutlass a out an inch or two ? They had a similar thread for this on the grand national forum I'm on but I'm assuming those would only work for g body cars.

Normal springs just cut a half coil off until you are happy

Can't do that in the rear due to the smaller diameter coils on the ends of the springs. I have cut the front springs with good success. Lowering spindles are the other option and will retain the stock suspension geometry and wheel travel.

thought about drop spindles but i recently bought a disc brake conversion kit and dont want to replace my spindles since they are new, i figured i would have to buy new rear springs (also new) just didnt want to spend the money on drop springs if i could get away with a 80.00 set of moogs
