Re: best/cheapes way to lower fornt 87 coils
If you are doing a flip in the rear, you are going to want atleast a 3'' front drop for sure. I've seen 3'' springs but they really aren't recommended. You will have alignment issues and a harsher ride as well as the need for shorter shocks. Spindles will get you done 2.5 or 3'' depending on brand and you can then add maybe a 1'' or 2'' spring to get it where you want. I think 3'' spring is pushing it.

on e-bay you can get mcgaughys 2.5" drop spindles for $218 and summit has 2" drop coils for $83 plus tax and handling comes out to about $100 bucks

Or you can do what we all do to our rides at first, is cut a coil or so off to get the drop you want... cheap, easy, bumpy but it works ![]() |
