How low can can a 92 SS 454 go without chopping into the frame? 4/5 or more?
Please add pics and post wheel size / suspention mods.

Thanks in advance!!

Anything more than 4" of drop in the rear and you'll need to notch the frame, so a 2-4 drop would be my suggestion.

Is there any reason why you don't want to notch?

Paul-ish · 09-20-2011, 09:45 AM

I'm not opposed to notching but i've never cut into a frame before.
Probably gonna want more then 4" so I might have to.
Is there a good thread on notching the frame? I havent had much luck looking for one.

That soooo makes me want my 3/4 to be a 4/6

Paul-ish · 09-21-2011, 07:54 PM
