Ok building a revell 40 ford standart coupe rod. I have the orignal front axel and spring. My question is how do i lower it with the stock components? Any tips ideas?

Been awhile since I built mine, but I think all I did was sand and file both the springs and the crossmembers untill I got the ride height I wanted. I also removed a little material where the front axle attaches to the spring/radius rod. Using the wheels and tires from the '29 Rat Rod pickup helped get it a bit lower as well.

WHAT I DID WAS TO BURN NEW HOLES JUST ABOVE STOCK HOLES AND YOU WONT HAVE TRIM FENDERS OR MODIFY ANYTHING ELSE. BY THE WAY THE SEDAN 40 FORD IS MY FAVORITE CAR LET ME KNOW HOW IT WENT TOM MURPHY
