I was wondering if anyone has found an alternative to the MOOG 5234 springs? They are the ones their catalog says would have fit my car (info below), but they don't appear to be produced anymore. I can only find the 5244, which based on a lot of reviews seem to act as lift springs for cars heavier than mine. I found a site called MW components/Pontotoc springs that seems to make an equal, but there's no reviews to be found. Any advice would be appreciated


1967 f85
Sbc 350 (don't hunt me down, please)
Intend on either swapping aluminum heads onto sbc
Or
Aluminum head short deck olds
Battery in the trunk
No power steering
No power brakes
No A/C (therefore fairly light front end all together)
Plan is UMI control arms up front

Sorry, I did not intend to double post

I like UMI products.

I "think" I have the correct link for some '67 A-Body springs (below). Should be able to find both front & rear separately. Good Luck.

I'm wondering if I'll need to do 1" lowering in the front and factory height in the rear due to being lighter than what they specify the springs were set up for if I do go the UMI spring route

Very interesting regarding the size of those springs. Maybe the factory ride height will be fine, since they seem to start really close to begin with. Have they been harsh at all with the higher spring rate? Or still comfortable? Also, good advice on the compressor to use

Vintage Chief

No harshness. Excellent comfort. They're good springs

I guess that simplifies matters, going with their spring package at factory height. Thanks for the help!

NP. I had same questions as you. I can see you're doing your homework. Good luck!
