I highly suggest converting to disc brakes and using drop spindles.
They are more expensive than c10 spindles, but worth it for the stopping power.

Look at www.performanceonline.com for C20 drop spindles and other lowering components.

You can use c10 lowering springs. The diameters are all the same, but your drop will be different then if installed in a c10. I suggest you go with a minimal drop spring

68farmfresh, welcome to one of the greatest information sources online.

The forum has a great search button within each area. I suggest you try using it and you will find some great resources here.

Here are a few links you might want to look at.

C20 Lowered pictures

where are the c20 lowering parts?

There are many different routes to take. I personally wanted a small drop, 2" front and 4" rear on my 68 C20. I have hydroboost brakes that are in great condition and didn't want to swap to disks.

I bought C10 coils and replaced them earlier this month.



After replacing coils with C10 coils and shorter shocks.
