Re: drop spindle with drums
On a budget (free) you can cut your front springs and get that drop you want. I did that before I did my disc conversion.

Re: drop spindle with drums
You cut the bottom. I have cut 1.25 coils for a 3" drop but you may want to cut 1 coil to see if you like the stance first. Use a cutoff wheel.

Re: drop spindle with drums
If I'm thinking correctly, you can either cut your springs, or modify your lower control arms (creating a dropped LCA). If you use the search feature, you will find more information on this concept.
