lowering tricks?

[tbird1986]

so until i have all the money saved up to bag my cutlass I want to lower it as far as i can go... Im gona run 14" steelies on it for the tim being already have 2inch s10 drop spindels for the front.. does anyone know of any springs for front or rear that i can get off another car to lower it? I already know bout cutting coils and heating but I wanted to see if anyone has come up with any other spring ideas.. Again I want to be as low as possible (my other cars a bagged mini truck)

F-body springs work for the back and lower 1.5-2". I have them in mine and I'm going to lower the front soon.

 

[tbird1986]

stock ones lower it that much?

 

[tbird1986]

is there any tricks for front? sides cutting or heat?

 

[3XBrownCutty]

yep, stock f-body. Check out the moog spring chart, you can get around 1' on certain replacement springs..

[tbird1986]

can 2wd s10 coils be used up front?

with s-10s you're getting into different spring rates, most had 4cylinders or v6s. Depends on what engine your car has....you'd probablly bottom out if you have a v8.

Moog springs are cheap and you can cut them to get a littlemore drop. I'd just do that.
