4" cut from the coils in front, 3" blocks in the rear, raised the front shock mounts 1" to get travel back. Gonna do the same to my '63 Comet.

 

OK- how much lowered ? A LOT ....No airbags - its always this low. We welded in the Camaro subframe and Olds wagon 4 link rear very high . it has full ride travel at this height - rides great ! All components are above the frame, so when it runs out of ground clearance it bottoms out the frame - wakes you up, but no damage.... Probably doesn't meet scrub line, tho .....

 

These are looking good!

 

My 50 4 door has Fatman dropped uprights and steering arms, just under 2 coils cut and 3" blocks with a de-arched spring pack, 2 leaves removed and air shocks.

 

Niiice!
Anyone else want to show off their drop?

 

4"s of block on the rear with CE springs. CE 2" dropped spindles and 2" raised lower control arms up front with stock springs with full travel and rear steer rack n pinion.

 

Mine has a fat man Mustang II suspension in the front I'm assuming it's dropped .not too sure by how much... Not too sure what was that to the back either but I kinda find the rear suspension flimsy

 

2" stepped A-arms+2" drop coils=5" settled into place up front. 2 full coils cut out of rear. Driven interstate no problem. Killer motors w/out OD cannot go far or long unless you putt-putt them for the trolls that know.

 

1964 Chevy C-10
Front: Z'd the chassis (2" up, moved the cradle forward 1" to center the wheels), BelTech drop spindles (3.0" drop), 1 coil removed (2" drop), lower control arms moved 3/4" forward to gain caster. Wheels are 15x6 ET Super, tires are BFG 225/60-15.

Rear: 1979 Chevy truck 12-bolt, factory posi, narrowed 3" total, Ford housing ends, Strange axles with c-clip eliminators, 5" drop coils, 2" lowering block, ECE Super Track Bar, ECE shock relocators, CPP C-notch, forward trailing arm brackets flipped for better angularity. Wheels are 15x8.5 (3.0 backspace) ET Super, tires are BFG 255/70-15.

 

How many coils cut up front? On the shock mounts did you just shim the top of the mounts or a Shelby drop? Cool more door!!

 

yea, how many coils DID you cut to get that 4" drop??!! looks sweet!!

 

my '37 GMC, fatman MII front end with 2" drop spindles. Aftermarket lowered short spring pack in rear with 3" blocks. '51 chevy 210 15" wheels with 205-75-15's. I like the thread.

 

This thread is starting to take shape! What a great group of cars so far. They all look bad ass. Great to learn what it took to get them low.

Explain this comment, would you please slammed...???

Might I suggest "killer motors" have been around a lot longer than OD has...and I used to drive my "killer motor' to the dragstrip and back home (35-40 miles one way) many times during the summer and it didn't have an overdrive...then downtown to 16th street every Friday and Saturday nite summer and winter...oh, it also had a 2:20 low 4-speed and a 5:13 rear end...!!!
