    Spring is under. Way under. Could go lower in the back but the front is maxed out. The ball joint is already making me nervous. Plus got these fat ass tires and eedy beedy wheels.

    oh. dam. didnt know you already went spring under.

    The rear can go lower but I figure what's the sense if I can't lower the front. Can maybe go 1/2" lower with a taller spindle spacer. Need bigger wheels to run taller spacers. Ball joints starts getting spooky after that though. Have a set of light racing upper control arms on order. But I believe that'll only address the camber problem I have now. Not really made for lowering but it has the range. Was suggested using modular custom components to bolt together a control arm but because of the location of the spring, it might not work. Best bet would be a modding the spindles but I've heard weld ability ain't so good.
