Need help in determining a good front suspension combination. I have a 70 small block hard top with the Global West rear lower control arms and their springs which lower the rear a 1/2 inch. I want the car's front end to sit lower than the rear. I would like to use the stock control arms since I just sandblasted and painted them along with my stock disc brakes. How much am I going to have to lower the car's front to make it lower than the rear? If I get the Global West springs that lower the front an inch, will that be enough? Or will I have to cut them? Any input or ideas would be a great help!!!

If you have allready dealt & purchased parts from GW why not call and talk to the source. GW has some very nice products. I do not care for the tall spindle conversion, from any source. Everybody has their own ideas of what is the best. If you ask 5 people or manufactures for an opinion you will get 5 different opinions. GW probably has a matched fron spring combo.

Hey thanks for the advice. I called and they do have a shorter spring available. Another question I have is the offset center shafts for the upper arms. What do they do compared to the stock ones? Do you recommend them?
