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

Why do you think it is too low? What sort of trouble does it give you?

I did not mean to steel this post. My 87 sit 3 inches higher in the back then in the front.. The front tires hit the top of the inner fender some times. Thanks

Why would you not cut the springs for the 87? Just wondering...

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

So, after crushing and otherwise damaging my control arms that I spent so much time and effort in, I was put in a position where I needed some replacements. Instead of getting some other stockers I decided to go with tubular ones. And since I was needing to replace the arms anyway I decided to get drop arms instead of using drop spindles. So it looks like 3" drop arms and 2" drop springs. Will this cause me any massive problems? I have the stock spindles all cleaned up nice and freshly painted...
