Depends on how you define stock. If you use the stock method of setting ride height via the blade and ball joint difference, then you can get 2" worth of drop at the K frame just by getting the lower control arms to sit parallel to the ground. This still allows a few inches of wheel travel, so it is possible to go even further. However, measuring this same adjustment at the rocker panel or wheel lip opening could easily be construed as a 4-6 inch drop depending on point of reference and factoring in changes to wheel diameter.

BTW, this is the same car 6o4o referred to in his post at the top of page 2. Perhaps he could shed some light on how the drop was measured.




I'll need to measure my car's ride height again. I had it lowered a little bit too far and the control arm was against the stops. I didn't think I had it lowered very much, although I didn't perform a precise measurement.
