Have a 64 Jetstar 1 2dr and went to put new coil springs in rear from MOOG, The originals that we took out are 2" higher at 18" then the new ones which are 16", so before we reinstall all this and find out its to low we would like to know if anyone else has come across this or if anyone knows if the old springs may have stretched a little from being weak or do they only shrink from being weak? We think that 2 inches shorter springs are too much, checked with parts store and they were not boxed wrong. any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks
