I was having a lot of trouble finding the MOOG springs I wanted, and ended up getting Belltech 4202 springs for the front of my'97 S10

Moog 5664 Now Obsolete, See Thread
It appears that Moog has discontinued the 5664 springs, as searching around the internet seems to bring up very little information on them. The ones I could find for sale are almost double the price of what they were a few years back, so it appears that they're on the "sunset".
This kind of spurred me into research mode as I'm currently working on my '00 Blazer, and plan to dump a 350 into it but keep the front end semi-leveled with the rear. I used Moog's website and started looking for springs that had around the same specs at the 5664 and came up with this:
![350035]()
The original 5664 is listed at the top, and the two possible substitutes are below. The 80098 & 7268 specs don't match up exactly, however the differences between them and the 5664 are very small. See below:
Free Height difference: +0.54 inches
Installed Height difference: +0.52 inches
Inner Diameter difference: -0.08 inches
Bar Diameter difference: +0.02 inches
Spring Rate difference: +41lbs per inch
Load difference: +25lbs
Prices:
Current Moog 5664 Price: $152.73 per Moog's Website
Moog 7268 Price: $87.19 per CarID
Moog 80098 Price: $83.99 per Summit Racing
As you can see, the differences are small enough that they might be negligible. That being said, when it comes to suspension these small differences could be massive when it comes to fitment, comfort, etc. I'd love to hear the input from other forum members, and if you have any information on parts that have the same specs as Moog 5664 from other manufacturers please post them here.
I did find a possible ACdelco alternative, however I have been unable to verify the specs.
The part number for the possible ACdelco alternative is 45H0170. If you have any experience with using this coil in place of the 5664, please let us know!
