Lowering springs.

[Heavy Chevy]

Hey there! Has anyone done a 2 in spring only drop? If so where did you get them and how did it turn out. I’ve found 1.5 from BMR for a decent price but was hoping for 2. Any input would be great! Thanks.

I'd like to know the same as well and if anyone has pictures as well please.. I ended up cutting my springs on my 3.8 but after the 305 swap I can't turn my wheels.

To lower my Malibu , I went with bell tech 2" drop spindles in the front and 2" lowering springs in the back.(Not sure of spring brand) Maybe I'm wrong but using lowering springs in the front , it seems you would lose 2" of suspension travel and possibly bounce the stops. With drop spindles the springs and shocks have the same travel and the spindle is just moved upward. I know my car car handles a lot better due to a lower roll center. timo22

I have UMI 2" drop rear springs in the back and a big Big Block Chevy in the front.

I used that same formula to lower my 65! Ok, with just a big block and springs..

5658 springs and a tall lower bal joints worked well for me.

a moog 5660 spring with 1/2 coil cut off will drop a G body 2"
