    darch them or use blocks. depending on your springs you can uses anything form a 1 inch to a 2 inch block.

    this is what a block looks like....

    blocks would be easier and would take less time and money

    Excuse my ignorance but I am kind of new to the DIY

    Well I am wondering about lowering the rear end, of course I still have to install the sound system before as it surely will drop at least an inch, the rear tires are also due to be replaced (I just bought the car about a month ago and focused on interior mods like seats, carpet and installing a hurst Indy pick-up manual shifter into my steering column automatic.. lol yes.. it was odd but it worked, anyway..) but I am still very curious about this whole thing of lowering blocks as I just cut a coil out of the coil springs today and didn't have a chance to ride it but it surely dropped at least an inch and with the low profile tires it looks awesomely low but I don't want the back to look lower than the front.. even though there is always the last resource those lame "coil springs boosters" that you can either use them to raise or lower :) right ?... well, I better stop typing this "novel" and wait for all of your expertise .. lol please if anyone's got sort of a how-to install lowering blocks and can confirm if I need new U-bolts to be installed with the blocks install, please help this painful soul.. lol :huh:

    By the way the pic on my signature is the picture of the add the last owner put on a website but haven't had the chance to take any pics of the ride as I haven't even washed it yet.. lol..:coco:
