Why not use Detroit spring? I think the quality is best with them... I had napa in the front and they are not worth #@#$.. lasted just a few months. I had Detroit spring on the other car and after 7 years had no deterioration in the ride height

Because Summit don´t sell Detroit Springs.
We must order from Summit, because we have order a few other parts from Summit and we want to keep the cost down down as possible (oversee shipping i expensive)
We want to install E-Bay front tubular A-Arms which lower the front end approx- 1" but we don´t want that the tires rub with the drop, so we play with idea to use the 5272 Moog which are with AC.
Will AC Springs raise the front end or only be stiffer if installed...need HELP guys.

If you use the Moog 5272 for AC springs and you don't have the AC. The height of the fender will be up to 1.5" higher.
Are you looking at "Rusty Nuts & Rod" A arms on on Ebay #171211980497? I don't see where they say the vehicle gets lowered 1".

NO,but what i read all china (Ebay) arms have a deeper coil pocket and a few ebay vendors give this info... if you ask!
What do you thinking about to cut the 5272 to the height i needed, with the higher RATE & LOAD than the 5244 it will me a stiffer spring, correct?

The Ebay tubular arms I bought have a poly cushion in the pocket. I wanted the front end a little higher, so I ordered +1" springs. I had to go back to the stock 442 springs as the tube arms have the front end higher. When you install the front springs, do not tighten tighten the lower ball joint until you approve of the height. My Yellow car has stock lower A arms, and even with the +1" springs, I sit at the minimum height I want. The disc brake upgrade sets the tires out about an inch. So rubbing can still occur. Both are factory A/C cars. The photo below is stock 442 conv spring, wo A/C and the +1" Detroit spring, MC3474. I think the stock 442 springs will work, just a little soft ride based on my Porsche car M030 suspension.  |
