Lowering an 81..........





your other option is to go either the trick VB front transverse leaf spring front or their 550# fronts. the 550's are supposed to drop the front 1 to 1.5". the transverse spring is adjustable.
the rear is easy enough. find a bolt shop in your town and go get some 10-12" bolts and just replace the factory ones. it will save you booku bucks over the corvette taxed bolt kits in the catalogs.
if you cut your fronts, you'll need to use a cutting wheel. trust me, ain't no way your cutting a spring with a hacksaw or sawzall. i think the amount you have to cut will depend on what you currently have and how low you want to go. i had the VB 460# front springs and only cut about 1/2 a coil and it dropped the front 1+". others that have the factory stock springs say they've cut one full cut, or more, to get that kind of drop.
make sure after you put everything back together you drive it several miles to settle the springs before you decide to cut more.
