I saw the below Cross-Interchange Chart online, anyone please speak up if you know whether info correct or not also if any experience using products listed.
Chart is a Cross Reference for the Napa 2771984 which it and the Husky RC6308 are both listed as DIRECT Cross Interchange w/ the Moog 6308, others on the list noted as Indirect.

Camaro Specialties NY or Classic industries sell CS6308 which are equivalent to the Moog 6308 which I like. They are a lot stiffer than original, but provide a great stance and improve handling.

I've been in talks with Jerry MacNeish
He uses TRW coil springs code EE .
Unfortunately they have been back ordered for a while now....

Yes. My understanding is the CS prefix denotes TRW.

CS6308 is noted TRW at bottom of above Chart but as Indirect Cross Interchange?
Again, would Napa 2771984 or Husky RC6308 being Direct Interchange be better than others listed as Indirect or Products known lacking in some way?
Here’s a Moog/Napa Spec page below, how’s it compare w/ Factory Parts?
I don’t see the Husky product available but Napa # looks possible, here’s one link…

I looked at all those when shopping all dead ends discontinued. You wont be disappointed. I bought a set from Camaro Specialties. They list them 6308 on the invoice. Goodluck!
