    Need to replace the rear coil springs on my Cat.
    Looking for a nice pair I stumbled upon several different springs, but it is very hard to get some information on them.

    Moog:
    CC503
    5329
    6363

    What would be the best choice when in the future a propane tank (about 150lbs) will be added in the trunk? (gastank will be filled with just a few gallons)

    Still I don't want the Cat to look like a 4WD

    Maybe a combination with load adjusters?

    One more try: TTT

    Have to order this week for I will be flying to the US in 2 weeks; any suggestions or help appreciated. Otherwise I have to choose blind and find out whether it was a good choice once mounted.
    Thanks

    Not sure if this really helps, but here goes-

    When I replaced the rear springs on my 66 Wildcat, I went with 5329's.
    I did a quick search and the part numbers are the same for both of our cars.
    Here are some recent pictures of the stance about 1 year later and with about 150 pounds worth of tools, jacks, spare, etc,,, in the trunk.
    I almost went with the CC503 to keep the rear up a little bit, but being a 4 door, I didnt want it to be too high.

    William, exactly what I needed to know and see. 5329 it will be!

    BTW: Love the photo with your Cat and the Buick logo :TU:
