wtf?? thats weird. by two springs in the rear, do you mean two on each side for a total of 4 or just one on each side? for an old car like that where you dont really care about it, you could just cut the springs down in the rear. that should be an ok drop.

Rep Power: 0 probably springs in the front, torsion bar in the back. As the suspension lowers, it twists ((torsion)) the bar, which is like a straightened spring, and it resists the movement. 4WD trucks use them a lot in the front. you can sometimes get lowered torsion keys that will lower them. Probably not worth it though.
