I'm new to the GM a body platform and came across this site. I bought some lowering springs from performance online that say 1.5 front and 2 inch rear drop. I really want the front about an inch lower than the rear. Should I just get the coil spacers for the rear to bring it up or get spindles for the front to drop it down more? I'm just not sure how low I can go on this platform safely. I plan on running 15x8.5" American Racing Torque Thrust D's with 3.75 backspacing and 295/50-15 tires.

Welcome!

Drop spindles are nice, but expensive. A more cost-effective solution is a taller spring in the rear or an even lower spring in the front. If you search the forum, you'll find lots of discussions on springs.
