Nice kit......Because I've done the "B" Body brake swap (already an inch or so lower just doing the swap) and a coil cut off a new replacement lowering springs up front, it might be okay with the 1"-3" drop setup?? Right now I'm just on the rubber bump stops. It sits where I like it now and rides fairly well. Does 3"-4" drop sound right for the front of these cars?
Out back is another story. Not sure just how much lower it is, maybe 2"-3"?? It sits pretty good but don't really like the spring and pad setup I have. It's been so many years I can't remember where they came from. They are lowering springs with a coil cut also. Small pig tail on the axle and open top with a 1" rubber mounting pad against the frame spring pocket up top. Had to actually bolt the pad to the spring pocket or that would move off center or fall out. Gotta be carefull when jacking the rear from the frame as the springs will fall out also if the axle hangs too low. Probably should have a shorter shock back there also. Anyone using a setup like that and where did they come from? I probably bought it way back in 94' so I'm at a loss.
Just by looking at my avatar, take a guess as to how much lower the rear looks from stock. 17's out back (26" tall). I don't have an accurate guess really.
Like I said...nice kit. What would the LCA reenforcement look like if one was to do this swap??
Thanks,
Steve
