mine used to have 3" lower buckets. that netted me a 5" drop. I also changed the angle of the ball joints to keep them in the middle of their arc. to do this I did 2 small slits and heated the arm while gently bending the ends. my way ended up with a neutral camber curve. the problem was the coils would rub on the inside of the pocket and make a ugly noise.
