How can I get ahold of H&R? My original over-zealous idea of lowering my van 3-4 inches was insane. I got a better look and decided no more than 2 inches at most. But, I've been working with a local machine shop to cork and re-drill/re-stud the rear drums and front discs to accept a 5-4 3/4 rim. I'm eye-balling some 15" alloys that'll look sharp. But, I'll want to lower it just a smidge to give it that "hugged" look. So, I'm thinking about 1/2 to 1 inch or so. Once I get the rims on I'll get a better idea what I need. Anyways, I've babbled on too much. If you can get me a website or something where I can get some info or whatnot on those springs, that'd be great!!!
