#2780, "Just one more inch......................"


          

LAST EDITED ON 11-Jun-01 AT 04:23 PM (PST)

I lowered my car 1.5" already and I only want to go maybe .5 to 1" more without replacing anything. I had a friend suggest some blocks to lower the car by compressing the spings. Some kind of bolting the springs closer together.....I dunno......

PLEASE ADVISE.............ideas and suggestions are welcomed.

unless you wanna change the springs themselves, i would suggest yanking them out and liberating them of the two top coils.

So I would actually take out the springs and cut maybe 1 or 2 coils off?
