coils

how much lift will the moog 5664 coils give me after they settle. how long does it usly take for a coil to settle if its street drivein with really really mild trail rideing.

i found a set of iroz z out of a 88. with the 5.7L v8 engine cheaper then the moogs. will these give me more lift? or settle quiker then the moog brand?

thanks.

also i saw on a irocz forum that the 3rd gen coil springs lift the 2nd gen cameros a bit more.

would this be true or would it just be the same amount of lift?

damn you are really thinking about buying used coils? coils are like $60.00 new, even cheaper if you use the off brands.

TRW/Moog
5658
5660
5662
5664

The following coil springs have the same spring rates as the TRW/Moog brand but are often cheaper.
AutoZone
Duralast brand
FCS5658S
FCS5660S
FCS5662S
FCS5664S

McQuay-Norris
FCS5658S
FCS5660S
FCS5662S
FCS5664S

Husky spring
RC5658
RC5660
RC5662
RC5664

Anyways the 5664 coil spring will give you about 1 1/4" of lift you have a 4.3 std cab and about 1.5" of lift if you have a 2.2, 2.5 std cab. expect even less lift if you have a X-cab.
And the Iroc with a 454 uses a spring e[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']quivalent of the moog 5664[/font]

no not used coils out of a 88. new coils for a 88 with the v8 5.7l to go into a s10 4.3 ext cab.

Yeah, that'll will be fine, it'll swap in, but unsure which coil it'll be so lift will vary BUT if you get part number on coil, be sure to post up along with pics of before and after and get measurement as well. Measure from fender lip to center cap.
