2" drop

[87regalkid]

I'm done putting in my new motor and trans, etc in my 87 regal. Now i'm working on suspension. I added a thicker front sway bar to handle the v8 and I bought 2" drop coil spring for the rear, I am not sure though if I should do a 1" or 2" drop for the front, it looks like it would be close to tire rub, I have 225/70/14 in front so they are tall. Any suggestions, or does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, would spindles make a difference, I only have springs?

I am not really sure, I didn't know if there was a difference in the end result, maybe I should just go with it then and get the 2" coils. By the way, what's your backspacing on your rims, because mine are 4.5in. and are from a 69 olds, I have to use little wheels spacers up front for them to fit properly, I wonder if this would screw me up with lowering.

im not sure of the backspacing. there from a 1987 monte ss. i dont see why spacers would mess anything up
