I have a set of each, 2 & 3 inchers. I put the 2" set on my El Camino and they dropped the rear plenty. Got them for a song on Ebay. They were brand new. There's a couple good shots of my El Camino in this thread. (http://www.chevelles.com/forum/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=24;t=001124)

I have the OPG 2" drop springs on the front, rear springs are original and due to be replaced soon, they are sagging quite a bit.

Thanks I have 235/60/15's up front. with my small block and full length Dyno-max headers I really have to watch for speed bumps etc. I rally mashed the bottom tube on the drivers side at a gas station. The tanker fill plugs were sticking up about 3" and I slammed the tube. If I don't take speed bumps at a 45* angle I scrape the collector.
I like the look so I put up with it. These drop springs really tighten the front suspension also. If I nail the throttle the nose of my car doesn't rise as high as it did before I installed these springs.

I have the 2" drop springs from OPG and 17" wheels. The rear springs are stock and also due for replacement. Just need to find time to work on it.
