You will need longer spring bolts to lower the rear and for the front you will need either new springs or cut some off the ones you have.

I was searching for similar information.... I don't want to hijack this thread, but I don't want to start a new one and have people say "do a search".

There is plenty of information on lowering the back, but my issue is the front. In this thread two options, new springs or cut the springs.

What new springs could I purchase that would give a significant (2" plus) drop?

If I decide to cut the springs, what type of shop should I look for that would do such a job? What is an average price?
