I wanna bring the car down 3" in the front on some real springs but OPG doesn't have ANY g body front springs in stock which is sorta ridiculous. Does anybody know of another company that has some similar??? Need ASAP!

Yeah, they told me the same when I was looking for 2" springs. I ended up finding Moog replacements that gave me close to a 2" drop.

If you want a 3" drop, I would recommend using a 2" drop spindle with 1" drop springs. 3" drop with springs may cause suspension geometry problems. You can get Moog replacements to get a 1" drop for about $70, and drop sprindles for less than $200. It would probably equal out in cost vs. the 3" OPG springs.

Here's one other source that doesn't get mentioned very often; not cheap, but they're certainly made to your spec:

On their application guide, it only shows 2" drops available, but it may be worth a phone call.

What springs are on the car in your sig? Are those moog? I didn't know they made springs short enough to bring it down that low.

Thanks

A 2" dropped spindle with a MOOG 5658 spring without the rubber isolator in the spring pocket. Taking out the rubber isolator was worth almost a half inch on my car.

Hmmm I thought I saw some dropped spindles on Craigslist... if that doesn't work out I'm gonna use some circle track springs from speedway w/the shims to adjust the height... very cheap, good way to have adjustable height.

I would do the dropped spindle route if you can find an affordable set.
