Default What Would 4 Cylinder Springs Do ?

Well, she's got some 4x4 to her, we put V8 springs all the way around when we built the car, but for some reason that front end just sits wayyyy up there. One benefit is not worry about parking blocks lol.

So, what do you think the result would be if we put 4 banger springs up front only,










Would like to try and lower it before finishing body work.

Hmm, I'd really like to see it at least even out, or be so close you don't notice. too bad the couldn't have done the opposite and say high in the back, I like that raked looked.

You know you can set your p/b account so it uploads at a certain size automatically?

Did you check out my pics?

Just the front, gives it a nice rake. Although yours looks a lil high in the rear too. Might wanna do all 4. I guess decide after you do the fronts

Yea, I looked on page 1 of the vert thread and it looks like you started off with a lower car, there is a lot of gap in the front on mine. However, I tend to like the look of a high rear and low front.
