    Replacement coil spring options

    I’m having a hard time finding replacement coil springs for the front of my ‘96 MGM. The original coils have sagged over the years and it’s time to replace them. It looks like Moog has a coil spring set that will work for the front “Moog 9046” but it has a softer ride than the originals from the reviews I have read and I don’t really want that. I found an article that lists Moog 81096 as the equivalent of the HPP coil springs and the Moog 80090 as the equivalent of the P71 coil springs BUT they are both out of stock everywhere I can find a listing for them. So my question is does anyone have any experience with the Moog 9046? Does anyone know of other replacement options? I want a more firm ride than original if possible. I plan to put heavy duty springs under the back so if anyone has any suggestions for rear springs that would be greatly appreciated.

    I think "vividracing.com" has the 81096 springs if you can like the price. That also goes for the 80090. You would need to verify they really have them but they are listed.

      I’ll definitely check them out. I was getting worried that Moog might have discontinued them both. I did find on Amazon they have Moog 9256 coils that shows to fit and there are customer reviews showing crown vic’s with them. The problem is they don’t give any information on them like spring rate. When I looked up Moog 9256 on google it shows to be replacement coils for a Honda accord so that’s confusing.
