Nothing that I am aware of.

At one time Moog was an independent high performance suspension and steering vendor with winners in every class of racing there was, the brand name was acquired by Federal Mogul a number of years ago--FM has been making things of metal for well over 100 years and likely has it sorted out by mow...

I put in some new edge V6 springs cut 1 coil on mine with stock iso's:

People steer clear of them because one of the main reasons people want to go with fox body springs on these cars is because they want 14 performance and a lower ride height and Moog springs tend to run taller than OEM fox springs.
