I checked my 65 dodge and the relaxed height of the shock is 14-1/4" eye hole to eyehole center,
spring is at almost 3/4" of the way down on the adjustment.

5006 6 inch travel shock
13.875-14.500 installed length
or

5007 which is 7 inch travel shock
15.25-16.00 installed length

im getting the hypercoils . i far down do you run them on the adjuster and how do you know where to set them?
1st time with coilovers thanks

The spring weight will depend on what the rear of the
car weighs but 130 should be in the ball park, set
the lower adjuster at 1" up from the bottom, the
shock should drop down to the working height (about
mid height of the travel), if its too high you need
a lighter spring. If it drops lower than the working
height you can dial up the adjuster about 1" or so.
I like long shocks,being longer you wont run out
of travel length but if they are short and bottom
out you will have big problems. You can adjust the
height of the car if you have adjustable shock mounts
on the rearend

i had problems with their S60 dana rear, impossible to buy from them. made a call to moser and got exactly what i wanted and needed.

Sorry to hear that, I have called them twice on the springs and had good contact on both occasions
