70Coronet

I want to lower my coronet, going for more of the pro-touring style, I have been all over this site and google and have seen lots of different ways from lowering by loosening torsion bars(did a little on mine didnt see much result except handling started to go down) to flipping the rear spring mounts ect.. Basically looking for anyone here who may have done it or has some good advise. thanks

picture of how it sits now, I would like the front and rear tires to tuck enough to cover the rubber on the top side of the rims

it depends on how much you want to spend you may want to start here. for some ideas. http://www.hotchkis.net/search.html?...mitForm=Search

It may be hard to turn with it that low without the tire hitting. Look for some drop spindles

fisrt thing i would do before you drop it that low would be to measure how much of a drop that is then measure from the lowest point of the car to the ground that amount.

Thanks for the info, I'm a little worried about the passenger side header hitting it sits pretty low but definetly want to get the front down about 2 inches-probably end up doing drop spindles in front and trying either the lowering leafs in back or drop spindles in front

This is the look I'm going for but maybe with a little more tire and a little less rim

You are aware those are probably 20" wheels. Makes a big difference

I have 18" wheels on my car with a 295/45 tire-refer to pictures) and thats why I said a little more tire and a little less rim I easily have more rubber by 2" than he does, thanks for the comment

Air bag it.

it looks like his lowest point of the car is just about even with the bottom of the rim. one good bum and he's hitting the ground.

PST has drop spindles for the front although you should be able to get a couple of inches lower easily by loosening the adjuster bolts , make sure you lubricate them & take the weight off when you adjust them . What size T bars do you have ?
You can add lowering blocks between the spring & diff in the rear , make sure you use new U bolts .
