Default 95 regal gs coupe lowering

Hi! My name is Jaden. This is my first post on here. I have a 95 buick regal gs coupe and I really want to lower it but I'm not sure if that'* possible without some considerable fabrication and cutting, ( it has a transverse leaf spring suspension in the rear) which I am not capable of doing/paying for. Do any of you know of a fairly simple way to lower it or convert it to coilovers?

Before you put a lot of time and effort into this, I would advise you don't bother. There'* always a cheap way to lower something, but a car like this you'll lower, make it have numerous other issues, not have resources to fix those, then end up paying someone to haul it away. I've personally just about never seen one of this platform lowered, and I think there are a lot of reasons for that. My advice: Treat it nice and maintain it and it will probably last a while so you can save some money to either go nuts on this car the right way at a fab shop or get something easier and cheaper to lower. If it is in fairly good shape, it will probably be good efficient transportation for a long time.

Your axles will not be aligned right and you will wipe out the output shaft bearings in short order if you do not correct the angle. That is just one thing you would need to do.
