Guest Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I haven't built one yet Gabriel, but I have looked through it and gotten a plan for lowering it. In the rear, I plan on drilling out the spring sockets so that I can let the springs go up as much as I want. Then, I'll just super glue them in place when assembly time comes. Up front will be really simple. Just drill a new hole above the old one on the spindle. If I need more, I'll let the tire size take care of the rest. Hope this helps you out or at least gives you a starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Gabe, My buddy is building this car for a club build. He just cut the front springs, and layed the rear end right up against the chassis. It sat REALLY nice too. Didn't actually pick it up to look( i don't like touching guy's finished builds. I'd rather THEY show it to me)but that's how he explained it. I understand the concept so I'm good with it, it's not just a hacked up job.
