Hi...

What is the best way of lowering a 1302S at the front and rear? Can I use dropped splidles?

Cheers

Jay

The BEST way to lower a super is with adjustable struts like this

BEFORE you lower work out what wheels you are going to run. If you want wide (6" or 7" ) on the front you need thinner springs. If you want stock, you could get away with just lowering the perch and running stock springs.
