Re: How to drop the front end? How much?

Nothing wrong with cutting stock springs. Just remember "cut" don't "heat" the springs and you are golden.

Is the backspacing the distance between the outside bead of the wheel and the inboard surface of the bolting flange?

Looks like backspacing is the distance between the inboard (mating) side of the mounting flange and the inboard bead. Looks like 15 x 8 wheels with 4 inch backspacing.
