summit is pretty cheap for lowering components, they have good shipping rates.

He also has/had some lowering pieces too, said he'd make a heckuva deal to someone if they bought it all.

Re: lowering a 83. Rims?

You need to start your quest by deciding what your budget. Once you set a realistic budget, start planning the end result. You can build it in stages and not waste time, or money if you plan it through from the beginning.

Spend some time reading in our Suspension Forum. You will find a LOT of info there regarding what combination will work best to accomplish your goals
