Drop spindles + lowering springs?

[83reeeegal]

Whats up guys,

So i'm thinking of dropping my buick regal... Idk if adding S-10 98-05 2" drop spindles + 2" lowering springs will give it that good look? Also if that's possible, what modifications would need to be done to my stock set up or is it direct fit?

Btw I have the stock original rims... would clearance also be an issue. ?

You'll need to pull the inner fenderwells, and probably trim theiir former supports.

My wagon came like this... it sat on the bump stops without an engine. Now it just has the drop spindles and uncut 5660 springs.

My 2 inch g body drop spindles dropped my front 3 inches and some wheels will not fit now.

I ran into a track width problem with bell tech drop spindles.i called them with the suspicion and they confirmed that it can push the wheels out 3/8-1/2 inch per side variable from car to car.between that and my wilwood's pushing each side out another 3/4" per side i'm running stock spindles-shorter springs and different brakes.man what i lesson i got.i vote for shorter springs,

I use the F body spindles which also move the wheel out about 1/2" but I have the camber set at negative .75°. Drop spindles are for appearance only, they do not help to get the increased negative camper when cornering. Lowering springs help to get the upper control arm point up instead of down. When pointed down the positive camber is increased before you get any negative camber when that corner is compressed

dang those replies were quick, y'all the best man I appreaciate that haha! but yeah i've been reading about the wheels being pushd out... it'd be much more of a hassle installing those spindles, right. I'll probably get a coilovers set up in the near future.
any suggestions on which brand of prings and correct rate to purchase, link?

Coilovers are a big $tep i'd run your combo by a customer
Service dept that way you get steered rite the firstime.keep your stock spindles,if nothing else you won't make the front end geometry any worse than when you started and you're not wasting your money on spindles that don't need,replacing
