    Lowering a Gen1

    anyone have an easy way to lower just the front on a Gen1 (1995).... trying to drop it approx 1/2 to 3/4..... not much just need to close the gap a little bit... I have seen nothing out there.... what are some of you doing? besides new coilover set ups... am a lil leary of either doing the old school way, cutting a small part of the coil or heating the coils... I see stuff out there for Gen2 and newer but gen 1 not been able to find,,,,, thanks in advance

    If you have access to a metal lathe, cutting the spring seat caps might get you there.

    PartsRack offers a kit of FOUR x 1.25" lowering springs for G1 for $329

    No 'front only' solution here, sorry. Dont recommend splitting the kit.

    Not to venture too off topic but I need a new set of wheels for my RT/10. Would like some Gen IV or V wheels in new or good used condition, could you PM me some options along with pricing? Thanks

    I guess your 18's will look great lowered.
