I recently purchased a 72 S/W C-10 BB which had been lowered. It was done wrong!!! The cost to corect it has been high. To lower it the guy cut 1 1/2 coils out of the front springs. When it is done this way you hit the bump stops and the front end can not be correctly aligned. I will have to get 2 1/2 inch droped spindels and then a set of 1 inch drop coil springs. The back of mine has the right droped spings but I needed to install shock relocation hardware a new panhard rod and then I had the control arms stiffened and poly bushings. All of this stuff can be purchased in a set or a peice at a time from Early Classic Enterprises. Or you could just air bag it. Good luck.

1-3 inches = springs (cheapest @ about $100) or 2.5" dropped spindles avail (about $250)
or combine the two for about 4-5 inches of drop in the front. Rear drop coils and blocks are avail. ![]() ![]() this was my STATIC drop on my suburban... 2.5" drop coils, and cut 4" drop coils totaling 6.5" of drop and a really crappy ride ![]() |
