Yea I dig the baby moons! That wheel gap up front is KILLING me though! Need to decide on a pocket book friendly lowering method ASAP.

or you could just heat up the springs with the car on the ground as they heat up it will lower

THIS IS A DANGEROUS WAY OF LOWERING THOUGH IT MAKES THE SPRINGS BRITTLE.

i wouldnt recomend this method but its cheap

Probably an inch, inch and a half.

I cut a full coil off my 94 Fleetwood in front and it tucked the top of the tire, dropping it about 3"...

EDIT:
Added Pics.

Stock height:

That's just about right! Gonna cut a coil from the front and replace the old shocks with Monroe SS shocks all around. Should get it riding right where I want it.

So if one cuts a coil from one's front springs, is ride quality adversely affected? If so, how much? That look is great. I like where mine sits in the rear, it's the nose I want to drop.
