out with the old

[stafford]

well I decided to change out the front springs on the wagon, the car didn't really have any weight transfer to speak of.
I know most of the people on the board say the moroso trick springs are JUNK. Not really sure why they say that though.
so I gave it some thought and went ahead and put new moroso tricks in.
I think I can still use the stock front ones :lol: :lol:

Man busting my balls calling me an Okie. That is harsh words. I am from the show me state. Ha Ha.
I usually change the springs out and I don't usually heat them up. BUT I was in a rush to get the car out at the end of last year so I just cooked them to get the car to lower down. After watching the car leave with the new motor I knew it was time to get them out.

Now I have the trick springs in. I just have to lower the car 2 more inches, it is not sitting where I want it too.
So I will pull the trick springs back out tomorrow and cut another 1/2 coil off of them and call it good.

Nope, not gonna do it.
I just pulled them back out and cut another coil off of them. Man the wagon is really light in the front end
ended up cutting 1 1/2 coils off. It is about 3/4" from where the old worn out stock ones was.
