I installed 2” drop spindles 79 monte carlo instead of dropping it 2” it dropped it 3-1/2” looks nice but not safe. How can i fix this? I did order new stock springs would that help? If anyone has ran into this issue how have you fixed it?

Looks awesome, yeah you probably have spring sag going on if they are old springs. See where the new one's put you, if you still aren't happy with that you can go with heavier springs to further bring it up

I used Moog 5660 springs with my drop spindles, as recommended by others here
Works ok for me

As mentioned won't affect height, but would say if you notice bouncing up and down when hitting uneven surface that is what shocks will help with. You are preaching to the choir with the amount of money I constantly throw at mine
