2" rear lowering springs?

[4ever442]

Ok, so I have decided that I'm going to use drop spindles for the front, not springs or bags. I want to take the rear down 2" as well, but I can only find .08" lowering springs for the rear. Any leads to make this a quicker search?

It says "To be used with aftermarket coil-over shocks." on that page. If they're talking about using the spring as part of the actual coil-over then you won't be able to use it as a regular spring.
But just to state, I have nothing wrong with Viking as a company. Through UMI, I bought Viking front coil-overs and rear shocks. I had to get the rear springs through Hotchkis though because they weren't offered from Viking.

You can use the springs off from the coilovers on the rear. Their smaller diameter matches the small diameter of the stock pigtails close enough to work. However, judging by those spring rates, they are all meant for the front and would be way too stiff for the rear.

http://www.opgi.com/ would be another place to look for the lowering springs.

I didn't notice the coil over notation at the top of the Viking page. I see that UMI is using the Hotchkis rear springs in their lowering kit. I didn't notice that before. I bought the Viking front coilovers and Viking rear shocks from UMI. I hope they help with my traction issues off the line.

X2 on the opgi... That's what I used

Doughnut boy, did you use springs on all four corners or just the rear? How much drop?

 

[Donutboy97]

Used 2" lowering springs in the rear, and drop spindels in the front. This is how she suits now

i'm looking at these for my 80 regal. are the rears springs on yours double pigtail? if you could post a link to the page of the springs you got that would be a help, i just don't want to buy the wrong ones..i'm assuming whatever you used would work the same on my buick.. running bigger tires on the rear of my car and i'm trying to eliminate the raked look.
