ok guys i know being low is always a good thing. back in the day lowering is what id like to achieve. as its a 98 s10 im wanting this bitch to be as low as possible without being able to readjust the suspension for now. ive already got a three inch block kit for the back & planning on notching it. however i already know im gonna do some rubber bands over some 15" wheels. so its coils up front how many would u guys reccomend cutting? ill probably get spindles asap but for the cash over the next 3 months or so is gonna be tight as im saving for a place & paying off a personal loan & the irs. so ideas fellas would be apperciated I JUST WANNA BE FUCKING LOW!!!!!!!!

when i had cut coils in front i cut them pretty much in 1/2, they were like 9" tall after choppin them up

and don't forget to take a leaf out of that thing man

and defenitely take the bumpstops off the front arms and remove the transmission x-member triangle to make sure you clear the ground a little bit
