[V8] Lowering thought

[ron_01056 at yahoo.com]

Yeah like a 5ktq. Plenty in the bone yards.

Ride quality might be compromised a slight bit...... might not.... don't know. I've never tried and don't know anyone who has done so. You'd be a pioneer, blazing trails and all that. But
My thought is i'd think ride quality will be fine.
I'd pair them with the Boge turbogas inswrts.

P.S. - I don't want to cut the springs, I want to cut the perches for the springs.  Ron, what do you mean by the lighter set - are we talking springs?  If so how will that affect ride quality?
