You need to know which springs your car came with. Springs vary depending on options which affect the weight of the car.

I purchase Moog 6308 because from my understanding the car will sit a tad 1" lower than stock. I plan to install in the spring. I have a set of used originals but rather install new springs.

What spring compressor are you using Buddy?

I have new springs in my blue Z, and although it sits right, I'm not sure what springs the PO used. Also, have the originals which I am thinking of putting back in now that they have been cleaned up. Always looking for good tools that make life a little easier and or safer when changing springs.

Default springs

Mechanics wire is the best tool to use. First you compress them in a strut compressor and then wire them. Works great. Still have all my fingers.
