MALIBU Has anyone used the Beltech S10 Blazer 2" drop spindles on there G Body

Want to lower my Malibu , looking for best way?

I use a s10 2 inch drop spindle

I have them with 5662 springs. I have a 225/60-16 tire that will scrub the inner fender on compression. It puts the wheel arch right at the top of the tire.

Btw
I run a 17x7 zero offset with 4 inch backspace
And a 225/50 with no scrub or rub

With Drop Spindles I would go with at least a Tall lower ball joint. The factory suspension geometry makes the top of the tire tilt out, into the inner fender on compression. Tall ball joints will make the top of the tire tilt in on compression, away from the inner fender.

I've got global west A arms, coil overs, and S10 blazer spindles but I want it lower.

With coilovers I would definitely go drop spindles/tall balljoints That will allow for 2" of more spring.and the tall balljoints reduce the camber and toe changes when you raise/lower the coliovers.

Adding a tall lower ball joint alone will nearly drop the car 3/4", too.

Thanks, This is great info do you happen to know where to get these ball joints for these A arms? Did you mean tall ball joints top and lower?

Just the lowers lower the car. The uppers help improve handling but don't change the ride height.

Proforged 1/2" taller balljoints are available at Summit for $50 each. Proforged 1/2" taller Lower 101-10048 and Upper 101-10020
