I used 2" blocks on the rear. I've used 4" on a
street car before but wouldn't do that for
racing. Re-arched springs is another way to go.
Other than that, you are going to be rel0cating
the spring perch, and if you go through all that,
you might as well build your final setup. On the
front, cut one coil first, two will go very low.
Prolly right to the stops or control arm bind
point.
