Any owners in the chicago area that has front discs installed?

After fixing my electrical probs, and then get my floor boards and rockers replaced, i want to start on the drum to dic swap. I would like, in person, to see it and speak to the owner on how it was done. See my PO cut the coils, i think, to lower the truck and i really like it stance but i don't think cutting coils is a proper way of lowering, so i need to figure out the best way to keep my stance but have it done properly. So if someone near me has done this and wouldn't mind chatting then let me know.

thanks
