Yes, I know this can be done several ways but...
I just replaced a front RCC coilover kit and tubular arms with a stock suspension. Now my front ride height is off. The RCC package was rusting and the tiny toe adjustment was bending. What is the simplest way to lower the right height of the front end 1-2 inches?

Does someone sell drop spindles? Torch the coils? Cut the coils?

Are the front springs fully seated in the upper spring pocket?
Are the bottoms of the springs properly indexed to the control arm?
Have you driven the car since the changeover?

It was an entire front cross-member swap with both units never unassembled. The RCC kit was LOOOOOOOOW.... Rear end also has coil-overs but they are just about maxed out and the rear still sits lower than the front.

No drop spindles being sold right now. If you are happy with the stiffnes of the springs, get some Rodneys lowering ball joints.
