Springs!

[marcar1993]

I'm looking for a roughly 2" plus or minus drop all the way around and good handling characteristics, what springs do you guys suggest? I really don't wanna go drop spindles since I plan to replace the springs anyway, and lowering springs (from what I've read from some good sources) help solve some geometry issues in our stock front ends.

Pics and what springs you have would be appreciated!
Also, what size tires are you running/how tall could you run? I have 215/75R14 and would prefer not to have them hitting the wheel wells, but if needed new tires aren't out of the question.

Thanks.

I have moog 5660 up front and moog 5661 in the rear. The front spring will drop your car 2" with 1/2 coil cut off. For the back I cut them 1 coil and used an F body isolator to use with an open spring. I have 255 50 17 on 8" rims with 4.5" backspace. I rolled the rims so the tires don't rub. The rear end I have is 2.5" wider than a stock G body so the wheels sit out further then they would on a G body rear so the tires would not rub on the quarter panels. I have F body spindles up front so they push the wheel out about 1/2" per side I have screw in lower ball joints and the shaft I'm using drops the car 1/2"

What do you mean by "the shaft I'm using drops the car 1/2"?"
Where can I get the f body rear isolators, all I'm finding online is the universal stuff, and what rear are you running?
Thanks.

I got the isolators from the GM dealer (part # 10290379), we have a dealer in town who can find just about everything. If you go to the link below and punch in the part number the isolators will come up. and I have an 8.2 rear from a 67 Chevelle. Screw in ball joints come in different stud lengths...I use the term shaft but this picture will explain what I mean. The longer the stud is the lower the car sits. I have a stud that drops my car 1/2"
