Front end too high

My friend needs to lower the front of his 50 Plym. P-19. It has a Nova clip installed under the orig. frame and has more of a g***er look. He's looking to at dropped spindles,but needs about 5". Anyway to get that much and still have a decent ride. Heat,cut springs? They should have stuck clip in frame or went with a Fatman,but too late now. Any help or advice would be appreciated .
Thanks, Cootieman

 

Buy spindles and dropped springs. That way you get a spring with the proper weight. Pretty easy to drom one 5"-- 2" springs and 3" spindles.

 

It's never too late to fix it right.

 

I have always thought you should fix it till you break it.

 

pics?

 

They are far enough along they are looking to get it down with the least work. I don't think changing the clip at this point is a option.

 

If the clip is under the orginal frame...I would start over...my 2 cents worth

 

x-2!!!!! sounds like a huge pile of ****!

 

You will never "still have a decent ride" by heating springs until they collapse.

 

Dropping it 5" with spindles and springs will put the center of the crossmember nearly on the ground. Not a situation I'd like to have.

 

WTF? Who puts a front clip under a frame? some people need their tools taken away.

 

lets see a pic of this thing.

 

Let's not and say we did.

 

Or do and say we didnt ?? hmmm
Morbid curiosity is killing me..

 

Sounds ruff.

 

That sounds extremely dangerous, and by spending the money on drop spindles and springs, you could be a lot closer to doing it the right way. Not to mention drop spindles and drop springs will most likely put you under scrub line I would think. That is never good no matter how cool it looks.

 

I think Nova clips are too wide for that Plymouth anyway, so if you lower it , then you can't steer it!
