Front B body brake swap question

[nillabu]

I should know this but don't. Completed the swap (B Body) several years ago and am really happy with the results. I know it's a dated swap but what the heck, it's done. I know it widens the track about 5/8" on both sides (had to go with 5" back space to tuck em in alittle). But can't find an average amount it lowers the front end. I know it does but would like to get a educated guess from those who have done the same swap.

I have drop springs (1 1/2"- I think) in it before the swap with a half of coil cut. It sits nice and low now but is just on the LCA bump stops. Not any travel left for sure. Thinking of changing the springs but need somewhere to start from.

Appreciate it,
Steve

IIRC, the B-body spindles drop the front end around 1".

Thanks Tommy, thought it was between 1"-2". Now gotta dig through my receipts and find out what I put in it years ago for lowering springs. I know I cut 1/2 coil before I stuck em in the stock suspension.

Thanks again,
Steve
