Exclamation How low can I go on the cheap?



Current stance




Looking to slam my burb as low as possible for the least amount of money without sacraficing the geometry of the spindles. I do have drums on this 70. trying to take a break from the bodywork for a little bit/gain some motivation for wrapping it up sooner than later...

Looking for some thoughts/ideas....

Thought one just cut springs and see what happens, lol

thought 2, lowering springs for 2" in front and back(I would gain a little rake)

thought 3/ sprindles and springs all around for a more serious drop...

Please share you're opinions/experience/pics here, either way I am replacing the shocks(please show me some links for shocks/ companies for the springs/spindles)

If I can get spindles/shocks/ springs on the cheap I would be in heaven. Just trying to see what my options are from your experiences what companies/packages work well.

I should mention that the goal of this rig is a cool hot-rod on the cheap/ rat rod budget trying to pull off a 10-ft hot rod- A mickey mouse rod

BTW, I have searched but have not found any specific links for packages and hope this thread will help for new guys in the future as well.
Thank you in advance for you're help here.
