Re: [Chevelle-list] Which way of lowering is better?

[Brad Waller]

You can do the suspension piecemeal.  I did the spindles first, then 
the A arms and springs a few years later, then the shocks and sway bar 
last.  Cost is about the same if you get the 12" brake over the 11" 
F-body swap that I did (there was no 12" factory parts when I did 
mine), so you may as well go for the larger rotors.  Or, you could go 
really big and use an aftermarket kit.

I can be expensive, but if you can budget it out and make a plan, then 
it can be affordable.

been trying to figure out ultimately what brake system (kit or

pieces) to use as well.

Thanks again,

Graham,
Personally, I would do the Global West/Hotchkis system, so that gives 
you the
great ride, but do the drop spindles. It really doesnt effect the 
geometry of
the suspension. I did the drop spindles when I did the disc 
brakes...although
I only had that set up for about a 15 mile drive before I went and 
had the
whole thing air bagged. So technically, the front of mine is dropped 
about 7-8
inches haha. But I can adjust it to whatever I want. Take care-
