Scan Tech front springs from Groton 700

I have an 89 760 that I would like to replace front springs and struts. I have already done a conversion on the rear from IPD for the Nivomats, and it is still a bit high in back.

Since the 760 is designed to have a softer ride - would it be a good idea to go with 740 springs (which I would figure might be a bit stiffer).

I note that Groton has both in the Scan Tech. Also I was thinking that a bit stiffer spring might give the front a bit of a lift, and also balance better with the IPD conversion.

Opinions, experience??

Thanks
Andy Smith

I've not had the springs but my experience and others with scantech and MTC products makes me avoid them like the plague.

Not exactly the same issue but I installed a set of FCP's front springs on my '87 745 hoping to get it leveled out (I have the overload springs in the rear)
The springs are fine but I didn't notice any change in height,well, maybe 1/2" or less.

Thanks for the reply. 1/2" would help the looks, and if it was sttable and level - that might pretty well settle my problem.
