    Drop the Frontend AGAIN!

     



    OK, I realize this is an already asked question a thousand times probably.But i still am not getting anywhere.
    i want to drop the front end of my 57 chevy 210 wagon(see below) about 2 to 3 inches. i have been searching the web for a great price on spindles,yet all seem to be aweful pricey,and all need their own caliper/rotor setup.But i already just installed new calipers/rotors.Must i buy theirs to make it work?Mine are off a 75 c-10 truck.Also,i see that this only gives you an actual 1.5" to 2" drop.And there seems to be some that advertise if you want an additional 1" drop you need to purchase coil springs to give a total 3" drop.So, what if i just cut the springs myself.is that just going to give only a 1" lower? I also hear you can go with the Air-Bag shocks to do the drop.What else is necessary with that option? And again,what a drag.... i just bought new shocks also.Any other solutions?Thanks for any replies.
