As long as you don't mind not being able to get over speedbumps without scraping the frame. You should be fine. A 5" drop in the front is pretty severe for non adjustable suspension.

It works but you wont be able to drive over anything...I have a friend that lowered his very similar to that set up....to make a long story short he is taking his 3in springs back out...to raise it back to a 3/5 drop because he couldnt go over anything...

your control arms will be so close to the
ground, I have 3" DJM arms only, and I only
have a couple inches clearance from ground
to arm.

hay mike2, if your going to drive this thing, dont go to low on th e front drop. remember the public streets are not really that smooth. as to how it will ride I only have one word horrible!! If you are really interested in the ride go about 3 in front.

it wouldnt ride any differant than a 2" drop. a 3" A-arm keeps the same ride, it just moves the spring down.
it will be too low though...well nothing is ever too low, but without a ajustable suspencion it would not be fun to drive

none expensive bag system??? no such
thing. unless you want to wait 10 minutes for
bags to fill...just not worth it if you ask me.
AIM probably has the cheapest air systems
though...go with shockwave in the front with
fast valves if you want the best (out hop those
64 impalas on Crenshaw...Its a Cali thing)

shockwave the best!? dont think so. thoes things break all the time. so with a double ported 5/8" bag with a nitrogen bottle in the bed if you want to hop.
