Front Spring Replacement

[mikeww1962]

Hello:

Coming to the finishing stages of my P15 project and while driving it we noticed that the front end is hitting the snubbers and that the car is sitting about 5/8" above the snubber top. I suspect the springs are tired....really didn't want to shave down my new bumpers...hard to find these days....I have read a bit about the Moog CC850 but not sure I would like a variable rate spring...

Has anyone used a standard rate Moog spring?

Any other alternatives?

 

Mike.

Well, this is kind of a loaded topic. I used the CC850 springs with great success on my 52 ply bus coupe. Others have not had the same results on dodges and I think some plymouths. I suspect if your original springs are the same part number or description, as my original 52's were, then use the CC850's. I installed them and then later cut 2/3 of a loop off the bottom of the springs and it now sits just right in my opinion. Ride quality is very good and I personally like the progressive rate the CC850's have, less bounce and more control. Your choice ! (2/3 of a loop cut off dropped the front end 1 5/8"). For the price you cant beat the 850's with a stick (less than $50 a pair).
