    What coil springs?

    I'm going to take the front air ride bags off and put some coils back in there. How much of a drop will make it ride about 1" above the tire with the outer lip? I'm going to try the air ride technology shocks but I may switch to something else later if they don't work well. I want to keep the back air ride setup for pulling my race car. Also what is the website for the best coil springs? Do I need an offset caster camber alignment bolt? Thanks!

    check out the suspension forum for LOTS of info.

    a hotchkis coil should put you right were you want to be and handle and ride awesome.

    and with ANY front coil drop, you need a camber kit
