sure thing. you can drop about 1" w/o replacing the beams. Can buy drop springs, or i went cheap and cut the stock one down. Seems like it was only about 3/4 of a revolution of the spring that I cut out . You will also need a set of camber caster bushings in order to line everything back up.

They look somethin like this http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... toview=sku

I actually have an extra set of these 2 degree bushings on my desk that I have no use for. Thruthfully, Im not sure why I have them. I think I found these and bought them with the intent of using them on another project.

If your interested, Ill let you have them for $20 shipped for the set of 2.

Thanks for the info Warpig . how does it ride ? I would think the ride would not change maybe a little stiffer ?

Lefty,

It was fine. i didnt have it that way for long cause i found a set of drop beams on craigslist for $200. When i installed the beams i went back to the uncut stock spring that I picked up at the junk yard.
