Default drop spindles

did alittle looking on the site reguarding drop spindles and could not find what i was looking for. are they as good as they seem, drop without negative effect on steering and supension geometry? and are they cost effective verses what i have been reading on what my be neccesary for using just drop springs( i.e. c/c plates, bump steer kit, etc...) anybody know where i could look some of these up, only finding them through Racekraft inc. thanks

Well I know a lot of mini trucking guys use them on their air ride set ups but the more I think about it I think you're right Brute, I don't think you can get them for mustangs.

drop spindles (2") are alot better than....

-having to get lowering springs (2" drop)
-new Camber Caster Plates (highly recommended if going lower than a 1.5" drop)
-Shocks & Struts (recommended for a "smoother" better quality ride)
-bumpsteer kit (since you will get tons of it when you drop it that low)
-ball joint

if you're looking to drop the front end 2" for cheap.

they do make them for our cars, just they are a bit "costly" but if you think about it, its alot cheaper than buying all the above and you dont lose any ride quality or geometry. Racecraft Inc. sells them $495.

Ok after you waste $500 on spindles for the front what are you gonna do about the rear? Drop spindles are not worth the time or money. I had them on my old s10 and ended up buying lowering springs afterwards just to lower the truck what the spindles were supposed to.
