302?
351?
460?
Turbo?
Blower?
Aluminum heads?
Battery Relocated?


You left out a lof of info that effects how much weight is on the front of the car...which will directly effect ride height. Drag springs are usually softer than factory springs so you should be fine. I'd suspect it will sit a little lower in the front than the stock springs....but you'll never know until you try them. Just put em in.......

The only thing I can say is put them in , lower the car down, and see if you like how it sits, if you don't like them cut them until they are right. Be careful to cut small amouts at a time because. 1/2 of a coil with stock springs lowers the car almost 1 inch. Good Luck.

Yes I cut my rear springs one full coil and it lowerd the car about 1 1/2" or so, the front be careful with. Like Mark said 1/2 a coil to start...

Always the top. the bottom of the spring has a flat coil on the bottomso thatthe entire spring sits flush against the control arm pocket. I took out oll my rubber isolators also, some peoepl don;t liek doing that becasue you hear alot of road noise etc, but with no sound deadning and 3" dumps under the car, that won't be an issue for me ( although further hearing loss will be :rolleyes: )

If you plan on doing alot of street driving, at least use the upper isolators.
