Front coil springs: Moog 6082 vs 6102

Im about to pull the trigger on a set of these coils. Other than the 2 dollars difference, I dont know how they are different. Is one longer or more heavier duty than the other?

The Moog website says the 6082 are standard duty and the 6102 are heavy duty...I'm thinking of ordering the 6082, don't want a stiff ride. What did you go with? How is the ride?

I am also looking at this. Will be ordering mine within the next week and not sure which one I am going to get. Will be watching this and I hope some one will post how the two different springs ride.

If I remember correctly , the 6082 is a thinner wire to the spring, have used them in the last 3 I've put together. The 68 I have now has them with drop spindles rides very good , front sway bar helped .The 69 before it was the same spring with 1 coil cut , also rode well. Hope this helps , please post your results!

Re: Front coil springs: Moog 6082 vs 6102

Hi - I recently researched this myself.
6082 Springs, .750 wire diameter, 722 pounds, ($71.97 at summit)
6102 Springs, .810 wire diameter, 1015 pounds, ($73.00 at summit)
6454 springs, .820 wire diameter, 1060 pounds, ($73.00 at summit)
6452 springs, .780 wire diameter, 843 pounds, ( $63.00 at summit)
6104 pounds, .810 wire diameter, 1016 pounds, This is supposed to sit 1/2" higher than a 6102 ($79.00 at summit)

Found this by googling part numbers came up with O'Reilly's website and a post from Rob at NoLimit. Hope this helps.
