Default UMI is making stock height springs

http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/1...1972-GM-A-Body

We all know the Moog replacement stuff is crap nowadays. Just letting everyone here know UMI is making stock height springs for 64-72 A body cars.

Eaton had springs at one time. Glad to know about UMI.

This is great news, I'm possibly looking to return to stock height!

I also just put a new set of moog spring in the rear of my 67 GTO and don't have any issues. Both sides sit at exactly the same height. What am I missing?

Why is Moog junk? I put Moog 8002 springs in my car two years ago and it sat right where I wanted it to and it is holding up just fine.

Moog must be hit or miss. The spring I ordered for my bird were so bad it wouldn't come down of the bumpers.

Did you do the calculations right and order the correct springs?
