So I have a 2000 rcsb with a cheap pair of 3" front lowering springs. It rides terrible and is a bit too low up front. I'm leaning towards swapping to some 2" lowering springs to get the height where I want it. Which springs offer a similar to stock ride quality? And no, I don't want spindles, I want the ability to run 15" or 16" wheels in the future.

stock springs and a drop spindle

i second that! squishing the suspension angles due to lower spring rates are compromising the ride quality in the worst way.

I would beg to differ.

I’m all static dropped and you can’t tell it’s slammed like it is. It’s smooth as hell.

Whats the front end setup? I have to believe someone makes a drop spring with decent ride quality.

You said you bought cheap lowering springs the first time, which brand did you buy? I would recommend Mcgaughys or Belltech

Nothing fancy:

1. Belltech 3in springs with 1/2 ring cut off
2. 2in spindle
3. Shorter end-links
4. Fat Belltech sway bar
5. Shocks from a '78 Impala. I used a Monroe ProGuard shock from Autozone

Tires are a 255/55 on a 18in wheel.

i wasnt doubting to have good ride quality out of a drop spring, hes complaining of terrible ride quality and too low with just springs. simply advising to get spindles rather than just a spring drop. My RCSB is all static too lol

I bought crown. They advertise as being made in the USA so I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

Springs up front and shackles and hangers in rear. 2/4 drop with some bilstein shocks. Even with 22s still rides great
