I'm sure others, like myself, have reviewed GM_Guy's comparison of different springs for boxes and found the 8652s look perfect for the front: https://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/ubbth...mpare-axles.jpgI have one set to go in one of my cars, and when I tried to buy the second, I've been informed by Summit that Moog has no more available to ship and will not be producing any more.

Most unfortunate as the list of available parts for these cars gets shorter with each passing year. I used the Speedway Tru Coils (925#) up front for my CV. I had the Tru Coil 225# out back, but I had to switch to the Afco 5" ID springs when I swapped rear axles. Looks like they dropped the CV as much as the MOOGs dropped as GM_Guy's MGM.

I have the TruCoils sitting right in front of me, just waiting on me to get into the suspension.

Try Rockwell springs, I think they come from Napa. Follows the same part numbering as Moog. In anycase, visit your local parts houses (Car Quest, Napa, Partsource, etc) and see what they have available in their warehouses.
[moogs are still listed on Rockauto, without any "only X remaining" notations.]
