That said, it was the spring itself that was the problem. I can cut a stock spring 1 coil to get 3 inch drop and it rides fine, but those custom 3 inch springs are way too stiff.
I will never buy another set of 3 inch lowering springs after that. If I want three inch drop I'll modify the stock springs. Scoti warned me about this and he was 100 percent right.

Thanks for the reply Tx.
I value your opinion, as well as SCOTI's and other's here.
Now it sound's like it's boiling down to just the 3" spings,... period?
Or just this Ground Force/Summit brand of 3" spring?
I too have run stock "cut" springs with a 3" drop.
I've also trimmed 2" drop springs to create a 3" drop.
I have a set of these Summit 3" drop springs in my red '69 right now.
(I've only driven it about 50 miles, though)
Just trying to understand, if it's just
these springs or
all factory manufactured 3" drop springs that everyone hates?
Sounds like the Summit brand is out.
What about other brands?
Any other members, running 3" drop springs,... want to chime in?
