Before anyone tells me how bad an idea this is, and how I will die, and that my car wont run any longer, ect... I know this isn't optimal. This is a short term solution to allow me to decide where I want the car to sit and how low I can go and still fit my tires. I am looking to lower the car 1" and then 2" from current ride height to see how it works/looks. I have stock 31 year old f41 springs in it now.
The front: this seems to be the easier end. I know cutting the spring it will go right back in place. The question is, how much should I cut for a 1" drop? How about 2"?
The rear: I recall using a 3rd gen f body spring isolator allows you to run a single pigtail end spring, such as a stock 3rd gen f body spring or a cut-on-one-end g body spring. Is this correct? Would you use a g body spring cut or a set of f body springs cut to lower the back end? (I have a set of stock f body rear springs too.) How much would you cut for the 1" and then 2" drop?
Anyone with pictures and/or experience, please share! Thanks!
