front suspension on 99 s dime HELPPPPPP

Ok. First off I am a die hard 86-93 Mazda B-series guy so I know very little abou the s-dimes. A buddy of mine is just getting into the Mini scene (he is only 17) and wanted his truck lowered. He found some 4" blocks for the rear and had a machanic install those. We put in 3" drop springs (ground force) tonight. However the front is still about 1 to 1.5" higher than the back. Are there any other cheap ways of getting the front end to bow down? I know on the dawgs you have torsion bars and flipping ball joints. Please help all you dimers in here!!!!jmzcustomz@sbcglobal.net

they aint cheap but u could use some 2" drop spindles.

Yeah I was just checking out s10forum.com and pretty much go that. Man my dawgs are so much easier to drop! And cheaper. Have you heard anything regarding the Summit racing drop spindles? Some one said they were like $130.

theyre 150 at summit with free shipping, you can buy some shAIM spindles for like 135 but then pay shipping so it doesnt matter either way.

You can fabricate your way into dropping that fronend with little or no cash. Just raise where the lower balljoint mounts are on the control arm like 2" max. It will give you nasty camber (which is a problem if your suspension non-adjustable) so you will need to align it or you might think about raising the upper control arm mounts also. It's just alot more work though.

just get some bell tech drop spindles on ebay. I got mine for $135 shipped like 4 years ago. But yeah, since you already got the springs, pretty much the only thing else you can do is spindles, or cut the spring pocket out of the lower control arm and lower it, then you have to mess with the ball joints, and i have no idea how to do that.

if ur looking for a cheap way cut the coil

yea cut the coils or even heat them a little bit

don't cut the coil, it will bottom out like mad!
