Moss lowered leaf springs

Wondering if anyone here has fitted Moss lowered springs to their car. I would really like to know just what the ground to sill measurement is with the 1" and 2" lowered springs. 155/80 tires and poly shackle bushings in the measurement also would be nice!

Are these the springs with the reverse rolled eyes?
 
Kurt, I have a set of front coil springs I'd like to sell off for cheap. I'd have to get them down off the shelf but IIRC the "free length" is somewhere between 7.25 and 7.5 inches. I believe they came from the Winner's Circle. Condition is extremely good. They'll drop your front at least an inch.
 
Trevor: I'm not sure how Moss has them made but they advertise them as 1"and 2" lower than stock. I really have no idea what that means exactly so am looking for some reference before "springing":friendly_wink: for some springs!

Steve: I have the 340# lower front springs on the car now but could maybe be interested if the spring rate is known and not too stiff. If they are from Winners Circle I'm suspecting they're a bit stiff.


Kurt.
 
Well, apparently no one has tried the Moss springs so, I guess, my next move would be to try and get some insight from Moss. Wonder if there would be another good source for a stiffer half elliptic spring of the right height. I'm not the only guy suffering from bachelor lean so I would suspect other's have gone looking. Don't want a spring designed only for track work since I would suspect them to be a bit too harsh.
