interchangeable springs for 77 cutlass

Howdy all. New here. Also new owner of a wonderful 77 Cutlass Supreme. 102k miles. Incredibly excited about this car and already got some centerlines wheels on it. I am looking to ad new springs / shocks in the back. I might be at the yard today here in Colorado and was curious what other vehicles have interchangable rear springs for my car? Looking for a heavy duty spring to potentially give a bit more lift in rear. Thanks

Welcome to the site. Your stance looks good the way it is, anything higher would make it a space ship.

the rear right side is sagging an inch lower than the left side in pic. stock springs and shocks are shot I believe. On a really tight budget and might go to the yard today. going to try to find wagon springs. Any others I should look for?

Station wagon springs will give you a similar stance. New springs are less than $100.

Take a look at Moog's website. They have an entire listing you can sort for "pigtail" springs. Wagon's are a good start but there's a chance yours are just worn and need a factory replacement. If you don't want it sitting very high, another option is the 94-96 Impala SS. They're a little stiffer and a little shorter but won't drop it more than an inch.

I am thinking of ordering these springs. Look to be stock height but heavy duty. I need some recommendations on rear shocks. any thoughts?

If you get used wagon springs use two seat springs. Three seat springs will be so high you can't hook up the shocks!

Station wagons with two passenger seats or three passenger seats. Or to put it another way, six peeps or nine.
