85 Sedan with the 231 V6/200c. I used Moog 5658 springs on the front, with 1-1/4 coils cut off. I haven't changed the rear springs yet, that'll come sooner or later.
Just wanted to post this, cause I couldn't find any pics of G-bodies lowered on cut down Moog springs. I read a bunch of posts talking about installing Moog's with coils cut off, but no one ever showed the results. So hopefully this will help someone out in the future, trying to decide on spending $50 on some Moogs, or $120 on the rip off brands, like Eibach, etc.

Anyways, on a V8 car, it would probably need 1 coil, to 1-1/8 coils to get the same drop. You can see how high the front end was before, in my sig pic.
I'll get some better day shots one of these days.

That looks really good! Some 17" inch wheels would set it off pretty nice too I think.

I would get proper lowering springs. I have heard of cut springs popping off the perches or shifting. A friend of mine had a cut spring cut right into his tire blowing it out causing a spin out.
