How many of you have lowered control arms with coil springs? I've seen a few. I know the aftermarket ones are pricey so how many of you mod your own and do you lower the ball joint end of it or drop the spring cups? Any clearance issues with a 2 or 3" lca with 15" rims?
Looks like a good alternative to spindles that push out the wheels and for less money too.
