Finally lowered the Cutlass.

Fianlly lowerd my cutlass this weekend, looks awesome. Wish i went a little lower in the front but i can easily fix that a little later if i want to. I used 2" drop spindles and cut about 1 and 1/4 rap off rear springs, I know not the right way. I have 1 inch drop eibach springs but did not go down enough so did not want to cut them so I cut the factory springs. When money is a little better i will buy and install 2 or 3 inch rear drop springs. Also added a set of the Gbody parts cross dripped rotors, they look great.

Let me know what you think?

It looks nasty lowered! Also, I like the way the drill and slotted look behind your wheels.

looks good, I don't know what you did for the rear spring with the cut side but I used 1983 Pontiac Phoenix rear springs with has an open end and cut them to size and used an F body isolator which will slide over the bubble for the pig tail and has the channel for an open spring to sit in. I used those springs cause they have the higher linear rate. There is nothing wrong with cutting springs.

How much drop did you get from that rear Pringles set up

 

[pontiacgp]

I have about 2 1/4" drop, I have the short bilstein shocks so the spring won't pop out if I lift the car. It wouldn't hewp if I told you how much I cut the spring cause I have an 67 A body rear ans the spring perch on the rear end sits in front of the axle tube. I don't have any pictures of the car as it sits today but I'll get some tomorrow

LOOKS GREAT - can I ask what brand spindles did you use and where did you get them?
