Does anyone know what a decent price to give for ZQ8 front and back springs.I have 2 inch drop spindles and 2 inch blocks that I would like to use on top of a the ZQ8 suspension.I figured they would be cheaper than buying drop springs and might be less likely to have the lean.The ZQ8 suspension doesn't seem to have the lean.My plans are to have a complete first gen ZQ8 setup except a lower drop.I have the steering box and front and back sway bars to get started.LayItLow was supposed to hook me up with some ZQ8 front springs but he must have forgot about me lol j/k bro.

sometimes you can get them real cheap on e-bay. i paid 60 for my front springs. only problem is that they came off of a 4 cyl zq8. so my 6 cyl. sits a little lower than it should.
although for handeling maybe aftermarket springs would be stiffer

I found a zq8 truck up in the junk yard here and they didnt even realize it. I asked them one day (just for kicks) how much they wanted for the coils and leafs, they said "$50 for both, you pull them" Hell of a deal!!

But ya, ive seen Zq8 suspensions on ebay for really cheap. S10warehouse is an ebay store specializing in 98-up s10's and they always have some coils or leafs listed

I would say half or less of brand new for use ones.

Questions though...

So its the lowering springs that cause the "lean", not the zq8 springs?

Does any one know who makes a spindle that is stamped with "bullet"?

Could it be a company named Bullet and how much drop do these provide?


Note the spindles were bought from Godfather Customs a few years ago. They are off of a co-workers old zq8. He ran them for 2years. Now i might buy them, just trying to do a little research on them. Thanxz for all your help.

Im not sure where the lean comes from...i always figured it came from the fuel tank and brake master cyl being on the drivers side. it confuses the hell out of me tho, cause i had 2" spindles, 2" coils and i had about 1/4" lean, now ive got the spindles and 3" coils, and absolutly no lean, so i really have no clue anymore where the lean in from
