well for starters how low are you wanting to go? also you know if you go more then 5.5-6" in the rear you have to notch the frame. And you can technically go down 4" up front and still maintain factory springs with larger rims. But coils are the easiest way to lower the vechile up front, and cheapest too.

well if you get a 2" spindle drop and you have a 16" minimum rim, then you need to have atleast 20" rim. And this is my impression of how spindle drops work so i maybe wrong, but im pretty sure ive got it figured out.

And they also make 2" lower control arm drops, which basically has a deeper bucket for the coil to sit in. But ive just heard of that, never actually seen one before.
