With the front springs I went with I couldn't get the lower control arms to not sit on the frame. Using adjustable spring perches, I couldn't get a ride height that was decent, so I ended up replacing putting my Speedway springs back in and replacing the rubber spring isolators all around, since slamming this car isn't a need (yet).
I still have the Spring setup and will likely try again later on or try to adapt a coilover setup.from a different vehicle. I'll probably revisit this thread this Winter or Spring 2026 hopefully.
If the lowers weren't sitting on the bumpstops/frame then I'd have definitely been able to make this work if the pinion angle was acceptable.
Edit: The front fenders would need the lip rolled for steering clearance, which I'm not opposed to, I just didn't want to do that to OEM fenders without knowing the suspension setup would work for still being drive able. Chassis ride height was the static ride height I had hoped for, but the front crossmember did hang a little lower than I had expected or measured once I got the smaller tires on the front wheels.
