    I have a 1972 chevy custom deluxe, and i am looking to drop it in the front end a little bit. Other than buying drop spindles from our host, any reccomendations to doing it any easier or cheaper way. And any words of caution/wisdom in the dropping the front end, thanks

    A mild drop of no more than two inches can be done at a reasonable cost with drop springs. More than two inches drop springs in the front and you will risk a ride that would be best defined as "HARSH".

    You should also get matching drop shocks with any lowering effort.

    Words of advice: Go immediatly to a front end alignment shop after doing any suspension modifications.
