Rear drop coil springs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*OBTG62* · 01-12-2009, 03:11 PM

I got my spindles, now I am looking for 4" drop rear coils for my 72. Who has the best deal out there? I see them from $80 to $169 a pair. Will there be a quality issue? Thanks

Yeah, what Cdowns said. We had to do all that stuff to ours when we dropped it. Have fun...

Thanks guys, I think I understand my project. Any answers to my questions would be appreciated, as well.

Quality differences are negligable, in my opinion, but you can buy a 'heavy duty' drop spring. Ride would be harsh, but you could still haul almost like you did with stock springs.

I know others will follow me: ECE is awesome! No hassles, no incorrect parts, no bs, good customer service. Great adjustable track bar setup, too. CPP does have a relative cheap rear lowering kit that has springs, shocks, shock relocator brackets, custom panhard bar and brackets. Pretty good deal, but the customer service is not as good as ECE.

I'll just be honest, I didn't care for products from CPP. I didn't think they were as high quality. Their customer service wasn't great either. Every time I've ever dealt with ECE, it's been great. I almost always get a guy named Stan answering when I call. He's always been real nice and tries to help me in any way possible. Their products are also very top quality.
You WON'T go wrong dealing with ECE.
