Just curious Josh, how was yours lowered in front? Dropped spindles (as
Mike and I are using) do not change anything but the location of the
wheel/rotor relative to the body. The springs and shocks retain the same
length and travel as stock. However, I could see a potential problem with
shock length if shorter springs were used.
I also still use stock shocks in the rear of mine with no problems but they
could stand to be a couple inches shorter. Almost 37,000 miles and 2052
drag strip passes....and counting. :-)
