    All Moog offers is about 12 different front springs for all A-bodies, where originally there may have been 100 different springs.
    A company in Kansas called Coil Spring Specialties makes springs for particular applications. The advantage of their springs compared to Moog is they have the original style "flat ground" top coil on the front springs instead of the cheaper "full round" top coil.
    Also the GSCA sells some excellent springs, with the rear springs being a variable rate. I put a set in my 72 Stage 1 conv. and was very satisfied with the ride and handling improvement. I bought them before I found out about Coil Spring Specialties.
    I don't have it in front of me, but I think their website is : www.coilsprings.com
    You can get on there and get a free price quote for the exact springs your car requires.
