    Thanks Lerch
    Don't take this the wrong way, but your post is a good example of learning the importance of planning, that way you don't waste $.

    Is it worth it? Your call, but the picture below is the result of a 3" drop front and rear from stock, which was pretty much the same as your car. Front was done with 2" spindles and 1" shorter spring. Cutting your stock coils harshens the ride when compared to new coils wound to be more compliant while being shorter. I used Mc Gaughey's stuff which is good quality, and Heidts is always recognized as top notch. The Chubby Guy doesn't enjoy as good a reputation. When dealing with steering and brakes (not to mention suspension) saving $50 bucks may be a foolish choice if it's the difference between the best and something less than satisfactory.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
