Chevelle 6-71 May 10th, 07, 1:22 PM I lowered the front a while ago from the stock position using Eicbac ( Spelling? ) 2" lowering springs. I would like to go another 2". The question is - 1) cut the springs, 2) get new springs or 3) get new spindles with a 2" drop in them. What's better / safer ............ thepest May 11th, 07, 1:12 AM Robert If you got the dough, get the drop spindles. If you really got the dough:) get the drop spindles and coil overs. And if you really, really got the dough:D get the drop spindles and an air ride set-up. I wouldn't cut the spring anymore, and I personal don't like lowering springs. They ride rough and don't seem that great at weight transfer during launch. Chuck One '66 in so many pieces bri2203 May 11th, 07, 8:02 AM What is your budget? If it was me and you already spent money for lowering springs... I would consider getting tall ball joints so this would lower it another 1/2 inch and cut 1/4 or 1/3 of a coil and see where it puts you. Or You can simple buy circle track springs from speedway with the tall adjusters. so you can adjust the ride height. $150 Alot of peope recommend eibach springs but they onloy make a package for a 1" drop. If they made a 2" drop kit I would probaly just buy that for my car. Chevelle 6-71 May 11th, 07, 9:39 AM Robert If you got the dough, get the drop spindles.

I already have an air compressor in the truck for my air locking rear w/ one more port available. Never thought of the air ride concept. thepest May 11th, 07, 5:50 PM YeeeeeeHa! Now we're talking.
