HELP Suspension Spring's

[Gremlinsteve]

Good plan

I'm going with the moog 5660 also soon
I'm using a drop spindle
I'm also running a 17x7 wheel on the front

I'm considering cutting 1/8-1/4 coil to get it to my current ride height. I'm considering this because I know that stock springs might start sagging over time

MELLOELKY I was advised to use this setup and may have to cut the spring's a 1/4 at a time to stiffen up handling and lowering it at same time if this isn't correct please explain. I guess I'm am going to have to go with 12" brake upgrade with a 17×8 rim size hopefully it will work

oh no i don't see anything incorrect just wanted to make sure you knew those ball joints raised the spindle height/lowered the car,nobody likes surprises.carry on.

Mr. Gremlinsteve what drop spindle are you using ?

Aside from initial cost, I see no reason not to use the Blazer drop spindles. You get better bearings and brakes= win, win

Hello
I used the typical 2 inch drop spindle for the s10 trucks

With the blazer spindles can you explain how to get and maybe what to get for 12" rotors and calipers I'm having trouble understanding I apologize for the questions. Thanks Chris
