hey i am looking to lower my 50 chevy fastback which is already lowered in the front 2 inches with coils but i want to go lower. My bro has a 54 that he wants about the same lowering in the front about 4 inches.Does anyone make a dropped spindle for our year cars that will bolt right up to the rest of our stock components? I have looked in magazines and on the net for about an hour and half and i cant seem to find any..If no one makes any whats the next best way to drop it to 4 inches? thanks to everyone who took time to read, and reply..thanks adam

Check Fatman Fab for dropped spindles - 2-2.5" drop reportedly...

I ordered lowered coil springs from a place called coil spring specialties. I sent them info on the net. They ask you how much you want to lower and what type of spring rate, etc. I ordered springs 4" lower than stock, with stock spring rate. Lowered car nicely, without dropped spindles, but doesn't ride on the snubbers. They were not very expensive, I think 125 for the pair.
