Lowering my 89 Notch?
Hey guys searched but didn't really find anything for our cars. I like the stance of a 5.0. Should i switch to a 5.0 suspension or what? If you guys can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

you could always just go buy a lowering kit... 5.0L and 2.3L springs are almost the same just the strength is a lil different. or you could always do what alot of people do.. cut your springs..

if u want to keep the stock springs they make these things that clamp your springs down and it will lower your car,plus you can take them off when u want.
dont do a getto slam im prolly gunna lower just the front when i get some rims i think the notch would look sick like that espesually if its an lx
