[2000 s-10zq8]

i have a 2000 zq8. i already lowered it 2/3 w/spindles and blocks. i want it lower. not ready to bag it yet. what does anyone think about cuttin a small part off of front coil and pullin a leaf? i'd like it to stay even frt and rear. how much would need ot be cut off coil to math pullin a leaf? is this possible? thx for replies

Why don't you just get drop leaves and coils? If you cut the stock coil then it's gonna make a rougher ride. Also taking out a leaf isn't going to really lower it all that much.

From my experiance taking a leaf out is ok. If u get to a point where u have 1 or 2 leafs and u have a 3 inch block u will probaly bottom out on ur frame. Meaning that your leaf springs will be weaker with less leafs and the frame will hit the axle. You will still have a factory bumpstop but this will make the ride somewhat unpleasent. Also....under no circumstance would i ever cut springs. It is almost impossible to get the even(contrary to popular belief).Just go to AIM industry and buy some cheap 1 or 2 inch drop springs.

Isn't AIM the company that everyone talks about their stuff not lowering as much as it is supposed to?

If you go with AIM and you want to lower 1" then you better get 2" springs, you wanna go 2" then get 3", and so on.

don't go AIM...... go Belltech.... if you plan on bagging soon then just get any set of springs. but if you don't plan on baggin it..... get the belltech for better ride quality and you wont have to worry about them fuking you over.! :thumbup:

but... is the x your daily driver? i dont see how i could go any lower then 2" up front...... i hit on everything, every driveway and speedbump... in the rear you can maybe get another 2" before having to worry about hitting....

My buddy has a '98 s10 (granted it's not an xtreme) and he lowered it 5/6. He still drives it daily so I think you would be alright going with like a 3/4.

 

[grndscrpr03]

Oh yeah, I just remembered I did a 3/4 drop on a X and that guy didn't have too much trouble with it. We have alot of rough roads around here too. I SAY GO FOR IT!!!!

what did you use to do a 3/4 drop?
