Hey guys, I need help with this. I am going to be dropping the front of my car really soon. There is just too much wheelwell gap for me with the skinnies. It really needs to come down at least 2 inches, I think that would be plenty. The concern is this. I already have Moroso Drag springs in the rear, it's not lower, but they compress really easily for launch, plus I run 275/60/15 BFG Drag Radials, and they fit really nice with no rubbing, but I don't want a really stiff spring in the front, that would just make the car ride worse than it already does. I was considering 4 cyclinder front springs, will this bring it down the 2 inches I want? I was also considering Moroso Drag Springs for the front, but I didn't know if they would lower it without having to cut the spring. If I cut the spring, will it ruin what it was designed for? I don't mind cutting the spring, I just don't want it to not transfer the weight correctly. Any help you guys could give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

slow93, did you cut them at all, or just put them in the way they came? I know the weight of the front of the car has something to do with how low it will actually go. My battery is in the trunk, a/c has been deleted, fiberglass hood and aluminum heads, so my car isn't as heavy as factory. Do you still think it will lower it a good amount? Post some more pics of yours if you have any.

The Moroso Front Trick Drag springs are made to be cut so that route is very possible.

How about the weight on the front of your car? Have you lightened it up any? How much do you think it dropped?
