    What are the correct coil springs for the front and back? Moog part numbers? I want the front end back up an tight like it was new. Im redoing the whole front suspension all bushings,ball joints,tie rods,idler arm,shocks. Oh yeah are these upper control arm ball joint spacers made from aircraft aluminum any good? Do they really make a difference when you hit the gas hard an make the front end raise up 6 to 8 inches? Thank You!!!

    Moog 6033 for the front and 6197 for the rear are spec'd nearly the same as the originals.

    If you want the front end to rise on accel, a different front spring would be preferred. The originals are fairly short and stiff. Good for handling, but not ideal for track use if your priority is weight transfer to the rear. A taller front spring with thinner coil diameter would be the choice in that case.

    As of right now I have 3" spacers on the rear original coil springs for a raked look. I would like to have the front up higher now like a gasser but not higher than the back. What would be the taller stiff springs that I should go with. Will the Moog 5244 front springs work for that taller look in the front? Thank you
