Lane/Motorstate has nice strong billet blocks in their house label catalog of Allstar parts.

Speedway...

I wouldnt go over a 1 inch lowering block. If you need to go lower than that I would change the suspension instead....coilovers, air ride etc etc...

When I was tossin around the idea of using either 2" or 3" drop springs I bought 2" blocks to make sure that's the stance I was going to want. They have their place and any ol street car is fine. They definately aren't good for anything performance oriented.

hey guys I remember that last time he asked about them and he said they would just be temp and just for street cruising (no hard driving or racing) till he could pony the cash for new suspension. so yeah the autozone ones will work just fine for your needs.

Yep - This is what my new car came with... DSE 3" drop leafs and 2" lowering blocks... less than ideal for sure... but the the stance is right on for now, so I'll deal with addressing this later too I guess.

I have nothing against a check book car and personally love seeing them. Just wish everyone would keep an open mind when ppl need/want budget oriented advice. These big builds keep our hobby/passion alive and progressing, constantly raising the bar. Lateral-g and even protouring in general would be dull without them but budget cars definately have their place and are equally impressive a lot of the time.
