want to lower the front of my fb...

as the title says, i want to lower the front of my '82.

i only want to lower the front, because for whatever reason the front is about an inch or so higher than the rear. of course, i would like to find a cheap way to do it, preferably $125 or less lol... i found a set of what looks like higher strut mounts that would seem to be the way to do it.

Suspension Group - Racing Beat Lowering Kit

does anyone know where else i could get something like this that may be cheaper? or even another way to lower it that wouldnt cost so much and that would be safe. (im not going to heat my springs or cut them lol)

Well lowering sprimgs are usually bought in a set.
The frot mount lowering kit by RB is your best bet.
Throw your Budget prices out the window.It is a 25+ year old car and you are lucky they even have parts existing for them anymore!

that is probably because your link says Mariahmotorsports.
Try and see if they got them.
You won't know if you don't ask.
