Lowering the Front End

[Ford Blue blood]

Here is my effort.  Original 292/auto, now 351C/AOD.  Perfect alignment, no bump steer, good ride.

What springs are you using? I would not expect the springs to settle much (if any). Cutting springs actually increases the spring rate. It is possible to calculate an expected amount of drop but experience is a great indicator. I would cut one coil at a time, 1 1/2 coils will get you close to what you want (per Bill's pics). Also keep in mind you will lose suspension travel. IMHO dropped spindles is probably the best way to lower a car in front but as far as I know "Fatman" spindles are the only ones available for our cars and they are EXPENSIVE.
