| Hey guys! Looking to buy a set of stock SS springs, or a set of lowering springs. Going on a 96 Fleetwood. Please let me know what you have! Thanks! -Paul | |

| I like where this is going. Get moog 5662 in front and Eibach ss rears, or equivalent, and you'll be happy. | |

| Thanks Crovo! Those moogs are cheap too! Can I buy just the eibach rears alone? A quick google search only showed sets. Any shock suggestions? Thank you | |

| I have a pair of ST rear springs, but you made need a spacer to raise it a half inch or so... Or run some thick isolators with them.
I run the Autozone Gabriel Ultras... Pretty decent for a cheap shock. 120 bucks or so for all 4.

| Crovo, if your willing to part ways with those ST rears I'll buy them. I imagine I can buy those moogs and take 1/2 coil out of them and be fairly level? I'd like the nose a hair lower. This is temporary until I piece together an air ride setup. Car will not be a daily driver | |

| Idk if you'd want to cut a 5662 at all. My sig pic has 5662s up front and PPM AutoX springs in the rear. 245/45/17 and the same height only wider in the back. | |

| That height looks pretty good!
I just ordered the pair of 5662's, still have to figure out the rears. Can i cut the stockers out back? Or is that not recommended? Thanks for the help so far guys | |

| I definitely would not cut rear springs. Their configuration doesn't allow it. You could heat them up. That's about it. Maybe look for some stock rear SS springs on issf. | |

| I've cut rear springs before with no issue. Just use a big ziptie to keep them located when you lower it to the ground. I wouldn't hesitate to run them as an "in between"... Although, it'll ride like ass, probably, with stockers. You can have the ST's for cheap. I'm done with these cars. I need no more spares. Marshmallow is the last of the breed for me, and I like my Vogtlands. I may be interested in your stock FW rears for the "burb experiment." | |

| Ha! I said I was done with these cars once before too.. You can have my stocks and I'll buy those st's off ya. Also, I ordered those Gabriel ultra front shocks you suggested today from autozone, 22bucks a piece. I'm sure they'll be fine at that price w/lifetime warranty! | |

| 20" American Racing/KMC Novas and sprint springs. Too low for a daily, but it is my daily haha. @ 215k now. Only thing that has ever went out on it is the starter, coolant t and restrictor after all these miles. | |
