Not sure if anyone can help, but here is what I'm curious on. Looking to swap out my still factory saggy springs. 79 Malibu with the 267 and ac. As it sits now the front tires are 215/70/15 and sit at 25 1/4 inches from the ground to the fender opening. The rears are 255/60/15 and sit 25 1/2 inches from the ground to the fender opening. Took it for gas today and on a flat surface she definitely looks like she's been lowered, but with worn out springs the handling is horrible. What I'm curious on is what is the best spring to run. I like a pretty firm, solid feel and will be running these with bilstein shocks. So far I've narrowed down the fronts to moog 5658, 5660 or 5662 springs and the rear to 5413s or 5409s. I don't mind if the height raises a bit with maybe even an ever so slight rake. I've gone over the sticky Moog chart but still just not sure on the best spring and/ or spring combo. With any that you guys recommend would you cut them or not and if so how much. Thanks
spring choice 5658, 5660 and 5413, 5409

With a 255/60 my car sat at 27" to the fender lip with a brand new v6 rear spring. Not sure the pn, but I took them out for the stock v8 springs which sat the same height lol.
If you want those new v6 rear springs, they're already boxed and ready to ship
lol
