1981 c30 drop
I am having no luck finding a 2" drop spindle for a 1981 c30..all I can find is 3" drop. Last resort is cutting coils..next to last resort is 3" spindle drop with a 1" spacer..What are yall c30 guys using?...

Re: 1981 c30 drop
Instead of cutting coils why not just buy lowering spings? Or go with the 3" drop spindle, you'll still need at least another 2-3" of drop to look right

Re: 1981 c30 drop
That 1" difference prob wont ruin the functionality. But, cutting a coil or swapping in some drop springs would get you that 2" target.

Re: 1981 c30 drop
Give Western Chassis a call. There web site doesn't show all they have. I had to call for all the parts for my 86 C20 drop parts.
