Default Wanting a lower stance.

How can i bring my 76 vette a little closer to the groung, maybe an inch all the way around,especially in the front. I like the chrome bumpered C3 stance and thats what I am after.

Cut the front coils or install 550 lb coils (1 inch lower) and install longer bolts for the rear.

Thats it. Pretty simple really if your mechanically inclined. Get an alignment when your done.

What Brent said covers it pretty well. Cutting the springs is simple if you have the tools and installing longer bolts in the rear is really easy. A lowered Vette always looks good.
