I did a decent amount of research on this topic, as I was extremely concerned with ride height and look. I went with Coil Spring Specialties LLC St Mary KS, gave them my car info, had them add .50 inch height to front .75 inch to rears. Extremely happy with the way it came out perfect height.

If the paint on your car had a little gloss to it , it would look better. But, the ride height is perfect. I love when the rear is slightly lower than the front. It looks more original.

I installed the Moog 442 coils front and rear in 1998 - still good height and ride.

What surprised me was when I swapped in a Gen V 5.3 (398 pounds) and moved the batery to the trunk the ride height changed only a 1/2" as measured by the factory.

It's just the pic, it is very glossy. It's base/clear, and has 4 coats of clear on it.

It has some rake too, again, not a very good pic. The front is about 1.5" lower than the back.

This one is a little better, but most of my pics are on a backup drive now...
