    That doesn't mean it will be a 2 inch drop though, they are stiffer

    Ya they are stiffer I just can't believe how much shorter they are and how they have way less coils but yet somehow the only difference is a .5 inch drop?

    The verdict is they will send me a return label so I can return them and then they will send me the correct wbody springs or they will refund me 80$ and let me keep the springs

    Did you allow the springs to settle?
    I had the same "issue" and then they drop about 0.8" more within a week or two.

    I haven't installed them I ordered springs from wbody store. The blue ones that have the wbody store drop. What came in the mail was a zzp box with zzp springs and they even have the zzp part # on them and zzp website says it's a 7/8th drop in front and .5 inch in rear. Wbody springs are supposed to be 1.5 front and 1 rear.

    Well got everthing installed today. They refunded me 80$ so I just kept and installed the zzp. There not fully broken in yet but so far I'm really liking the ride. It's firm but not harsh. Also installed gmpp rear sway with es bushings and moot endlinks!

    Got the KYB AGX in on stock springs, feels good. I had DNA on the other GP they however failed 3.5yrs later causing a nssty vibration under load.

    Need a side shot to help me decide thanks

    Pro tip on the mag steer issue assuming its 98+.....unplug the mag steer. 98+ plus the way it works is it stiffens at speed. Unplugged it'll have really easy steering. If that doesn't happen its not in the electrical

    Is that legit advice? I'm going to try this when I get home. My 1998 feels "floaty" at freeway speeds. Wonder if this would help.

    Sorry to hijack thread.

    Ya that's exactly how I would describe my 99 at high speeds. If magsteer is suposed to stiffen it up though wouldn't unplugging it make it feel even more loose and floaty then it does now?
