what springs do you have tony_ss? the look of that monte on yer sig is FRIGGIN SWEET! id like to do something similer with my elky. ya know what would be even better? just tell me the whole suspention setup and ill decide if i can afford it or if ill have to sell my soul to satan lol.
With springs, trial and error can rack up the costs.. and if you like to get the right stance, then its money well spent. OPG springs $165 a pair. Available in 1 2 or 3" drops. I have the 3 up front and 2 in the back. The rates are perfect, not too soft or stiff.
As for the rest:
Front:
Stock spindles with 12" LS1 brakes
SC&C Stage I kit (tall upper ball joints and SPC adjustable upper arms.
Lower tubular arms (Control Freak brand)
All Moog linkage
Monte SS fast ratio steering box
Bilstein shocks
1 5/16" ST sway bar
17x8 wheel with a 245/45 tire
Rear
UMI solid upper and lower control arms
1" ST sway bar
Bilstein shocks
17x9.5 with a 285/40 tire

question is, if i am just going for the look, can i just get 2" drop springs and nothing else without hurting anything???
Walker, Tony knows more about lowering a gbody than me, so I would take his advice first. In my opinion, do not get a 2 inch dropped spring! You already have 2 inch dropped spindles and with a -2 spring, that might put you too low. Get a -1 and then if it clears and you want more drop, just take them off and cut a little.
is opg original parts group ? i would like to drop my bu so far i have read spring tech drops to low and hotchkis on one thread didnt drop enough and another person has 16" i-roc wheels and pics look good my set up is 15 x 8 with 275-60-15 on rear . my garage the floor if pretty level and i measure roughly 29" to the lip the front will be 15 x 7 not sure of tire size yet . i havent read really anything bad on the opg another thing i was wondering on the front with original springs if i just added 2" drop spindles what changes to be expected ? i would think with just spindles does not affect clearence tire to fender . i am thinking 2"drop on the rear and want a leveled look if possible thanks for your input
