Question for those who lowered their car

[mra32]

I am trying to figure out the average amount that 1st gen w-bodies are lowered in the front. I guess mainly my concern would be for those with lowering springs as opposed to coilovers, but those with coilovers should chime in too. I neglected to measure the drop on mine

 

Side note but on the same topic: does anyone have a ball joint laying around that they would send me. it can be totally crappy, i just need the mounting surface to be intact for measurements.

I honestly don't know how much I am lowered in the front. To begin with my suspension was shot before I went to coil overs. My coil overs are all adjusted so that the B4U over my wheels are each at 26 inches from the road, with half a tank of gas (less likely to notice any difference in height from full to empty). If I ever get to go to a lower profile 245/50 tire, that measurement will go down to 24-25 inches pending any rub issues.

he has the same set up as i do and i think i lowered mine around 1.75 inches in the front

I got CLOSE to 2"......I think w/ the 245 tire on there, I am over 2" drop....body to ground

 

 

but still only 1.75" body to rim.

I wanna say with the Intrax's you get a bit more drop.

 

I'll have to measure from the bottom of the fender flare to the ground.
