Re: c10 with s10 coils

im guessing it would have a lighter spring rate. the stock coils are aleady too light so for that reason alone i would do it. by a pair of moog springs for 80 bucks

I was going to put 3 inch drop coils for an s10 on it, for about a 5 inch drop, rather than buying spindles and coils.

Let us know how that works out.
Alignment of the front end will be difficult.

Re: c10 with s10 coils

you can take 1.5 coils off the stock springs, that will give you around 3"

Re: c10 with s10 coils

Yeah after reading more I will just get some 3 inch spindles and cut springs. Does anybody know where I can find the cheapest set of spindles?

Mcgauphys. Don't buy cheap spindles. It's worth Saving a little extra money and waiting a little longer to do it right
