To lower or not to lower, that is the question!

Ok, So the V8 Buick was installed and I have the heavier duty v8 springs that I think make it sit a little higher in the front end. So, I took some pictures to get everyone's point of view. I have s-10 moog 5660 springs sitting here just waiting to be installed. I beleive that it would bring the front end down 1 inch or so with a high spring rate. Before I tear into this thing, again, I need some opinions...

bring her down, the handling of a car sitting that high would match a greyhound bus I think... :mrgreen:

lmao, I believe so as well....!!!!
 
another inch and i may have misten it for a truck lol. lowering would be much better and as we all know improve your handling a lot
 
People might be asking you if it's lifted for 24's. Bring it down for sure! Nonetheless, the car looks pretty damn clean!
 
I would lower it 1 inch in the rear and 2 inches in the front.
 
If you're not putting bigger wheels on it then you should definitely lower it. My car sits up like that, but I have 26s to fill my wheel wells.
 
Take them out and cut 3/4 coil off. Re-install. If you like it, leave it. If not, cut off another 1/4 coil. I never cut more than 1 coil off springs. Just me. Use a cut off wheel, not a torch.
