lowering a 58 buick

Has anyone lowered their 58 ? If so, how? I would like to put drop spindles under my old girl, but no one sells them. I dont have the money to "Bag" it, but my experience with using lowered springs is your ride quality suffers big time.
Any Ideas?
Thanks, Scoot

58 buick hupcaps

Hi Guys and Gals. I'm new to 58's and my car needs som origional hubcaps. Its a 58 special riviera I think. Do All 58's share the same caps? or are they different for each model? If someone has a set of 4 I'd be keen to know how much your after.
Please let me know
