Here is my cars stance now.

http://www.maliburacing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=91609

This is on cut factory fronts and cut foxbody rears.

Which OPG springs do I need to replicate this stance... I was thinking 3" lower fronts and 2" in the rear... but I'm not sure.. the rear looks lower than a 2" drop in those pictures... So I thought maybe 3" lower rears with some isolators.

Opinions?? :-k

Subscribed.... I'm looking for the same info. I need new shocks and springs but want to lower it at the same time.

3" drop springs in front and tall lower ball joints
Rear 3" drop coils and it will be perfect

Think my car is that low? I was thinking 3"s in the rear but wasn't sure... so I was gonna get 2" ones, but I figure you can always shim them up and not lose ride quality but if you cut the springs you'll lose it, so I guess I'll get the 3" ones and if they are too low I can always put in a thick isolater. Thanks for the info.
