I dropped my camaro with Hotchkiss 1" drop springs on all 4 corners.
I have also dropped about 200-250 lbs off the front end via hood alum.h2o pump alum. heads etc..my fenders are all = off the floor (except driver is 1/2" lower from pass side ,probly from factory tolerances)
Is this stock ride height in the front and if it is, dose anyone make 1" drop spindles?
I would like to keep my suspention geometry correct ie.A-arms -1.5" below paralell. spherical upper strut mounts 1" higher to keep struts in there sweet spot. I just need to know if my car can handle a dropped spindle set up with proper geometry.

 

Not sure, only ones I know of are the racecraft but they are 2".

 

Unfortunately you are just going to have to get it all together and take it around the block to initially settle the suspension and see what you look like ride height wise.

You have alot of variances to each car so each will set as its own individual height.

You have the options of 1/2" extended ball joints. They will equal exactly 1/2" drop. (ps- they need to be used on both sides to keep the suspension symetrical)

would drop balljoints be wise if my A-arms dont end up being at the right angle? How far off is too far off for A-arm split?
If they are not at the correct angle are new springs the only way to correct it?

 

Bell Tech (if I remember correctly) was the vendor for the third gen dropped spindles. Haven't heard anything about them in years, so they may be defunct...

 

1/2" drop balljoints would effectively make the ball joints see only 1 1/2" drop, so they would get things closer to factory & every little bit helps.

 

the springs are only 1" drop
Are you refering to a 2" drop spindle = 1 1/2" with 1/2" ball joints?
I guess my main question is, should I be trying to sell my front drop springs?
