Hi,
Does anybody of you know if I can use shorter coil springs from other cars in my '52 88? I'd like to lower it about 2-3" in the front...
greetz,
Kai

 

maybe somebody knows if this would fit?

The link you sent failed to transfer so I could not see what you were talking about,but I didn't find lowering Springs at summit that said they would fit a '52 Olds. A member here had a picture of his '55 that had been lowered about 3"-4" .He is a registered member and goes by "Rocket Down Under".He has pictures and info about what he did(bagged it). I've known others who removed the coils ,cut 1 round of the springs And that will lower about 2-3". Good luck,Larry

 

Thank you very much!
2-3" would be perfect! But do you think the steering still works perfect at 3" drop without scratching the tires on the fenders?
The link shows a 3" drop spindle.

 

I have never did this myself ,so cannot tell you for sure about the clearance, but I know it has been done before. Larry

 

(www.shocks2springs) make springs to modify height of car 2" and sometimes a little more.They specialize in Classic car and truck springs.Phone # 1-800-344-1966 ,or look them up online at the website www.shocks2springs.com. Someone else mentioned "Springs And Things" in Pennsylvania.They show that they make lowering coil,leaf springs,shackles and all. Good luck, Larry

 

Don't waste your money on new coils, cut the ones you have and put spacers in the rear. Gives you the slight drop that your looking for.
