69 Trans Am Correct Coil Springs
 
I know this has been discussed and probably hashed out before but sometimes hard to find what you know you've seen before on these threads.
What is the the MOOG Part # for the correct Coil Spring for the 1969 Trans Am
Likewise what would be used for a 1969 Non Air Firebird 400
Help is greatly appreciated.

If you go for the Moog springs make sure you force test them at the installed height. I just checked a set of 5278's and they were about 130 lbs light at the 11 inch installed height. Can't trust anything anymore it seems.

Thanks for that heads up.
Im starting to think / remember that the front coils are the same for a Firebird 400 and a Trans Am.
The Rear Leafs are for sure Trans Am only in that they are only 3 leaf. Thus the lower rear ride height.
Comments?
