The MOOG springs are toooo stiff.
I think the main reason is that they use 0.640" or 0.670" wire rather than 0.614" wire that GM used (in my case).
But you can tell the problem by the numbers if you look into it.
Moog lists the correct free high and installed height BUT the installed hight is measured with 1724 lbs load rather than the original of 1580 lbs. WHY???
Also the spring rates are higher (duh) than the original springs. Moog lists 358 for the 6194 springs vs about 290 on the originals (in my case).
The 6192 which are the "softest" that MOOG has are still terrible.
I'm planning to put my old ones back in very soon.
