I've got the 2" bell tech blazer drop spindles and a set of moog 5658 springs that were supposed to be .5-1" lower than stock springs. So my car is lowered somewhere between 2.5-3" roughly. The rear has a set of 2" drop hotchkis springs.

No idea how much drop. I'm using RideTech coilovers. I'll measure it this weekend when I get home but IIRC it's 26" to the center of the wheel arch.

2 inch drop UMI springs.
These are brand new I hope they start to settle and lower a little more .
If they don't I will be EXTREMELY disappointed

Cut 'em. I lost count how many set of springs I've cut. I've cut springs on almost every car I own except for The Mrs.' minivan.

I paid GOOD $$$$ from a sponsor of this site that claimed a 2 inch drop. I'll be dammed if I cut them before they settle.

What width and backspacing do you have on the wheels? Any rubbing or modification of the inner wheel wells in front required? I’ve got 275 40 17 in the front with 2” drop and I’ve been warned that I will need a deft touch with the plasma cutter or hammer to avoid interference once the front clip is installed.

You’ve got a sharp car btw!

All pics have Hotchkis 2-inch drop rear springs. All but the black wheeled one show 2-inch drop g-body spindles and Viking 500lb hybrid coilovers. (I do not recommend those coils for ANY drop.) The black wheel shows Blazer spindles with Eibach drop springs and a .5" taller lower ball joint. The 5 spoke wheels are 255/50/16, while the t-type wheels are 235/60/15-255/60/15 staggered. The red car is my friend's lowered RX-7.
