Hey guys, I just swapped my 7.5 rear for a moser 9" .....tubular lower arms, adjustable uppers, rear sway bar and new rear shocks. I put the stock springs back in and it sits too high in the rear now....what did you guys use for rear springs on your wagon?.....thanks in advance Moose

You can put a true coil-over type spring in there. We've used 12" - 125 and 12" - 150 lb coil-over springs in the stock location with good results.

We do yeah, depending what ride height you need, you might even need a 12" - 175 lb. spring.

Hello
As long as the rear is made for a G body car I would suggest just going with a stock rear spring and get a good adjustable rear shock to allow you to still maintain good clearance. Such as a QA1 or a Strange Engineering. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks
Brad :D
