fyi they dont sell srop spindles anymore , i saw a set go on ebay a few weeks ago . But just so ya know they dont make em anymore . You either gotta lower the car with drop springs or go with air ride.

Try pming CrazyHawaiian & see if he can send a pic of his car. He just installed drop spindles that he had stashed away not too long ago. I haven't seen any pics yet but after talking to him, he said it's insane! The drop spindles along with his weight jacks just lays the front end on the ground

ground clearance

I don't know about drop spindles, but I have Eibach Pro springs in front and rear. I haven't had any rub or scrape problems, but I did notice a huge difference in handling with the springs and new struts I installed. I am curious why it seems popular to lower the front only. I guess I don't see the advantage of lowering the front and leaving the back stock.

Oh, I almost forgot, sometimes driving into parking lots you need to be careful or you will scrape the front valance.
