2" drop spindles

[sparky]

Hi everybody, I have a question. Has anyone ever installed 2" drop spindles? I know it's better than lowering springs. The front end geometry does not change, which is a good thing. I installed new springs trw6330 which i have issue with (same application small block big block?) I would appreciate your imput. Photos would be even better.Thanks phil

I got a set of 2" drop spindles and lowering spring on a 70 project El Camino

Hey ert doed that camino have the motor in it yet? seema like it should be a bit lower if so.

Yup 454 450hp sitting under the hood with turbo 400 trans. Here is another picture it's close to a 3" drop in the front and a 1" drop in the rear.

Seems like it would be a little lower, maybe because the back is lower too. Looks good anyhow.

this one has new sbc springs and two inch drop spindles.

I like the front end height but I just prefer the back end just a little higher. Heres mine with very little air in the air shocks (just enough to blow up the bags) if I could drop the front end down just a bit it would be great.

im thinking about gettin the 2" drop spindles wit stock sbc springs. i like the way yours sits 400hp..

I agree, it sits perfectly and I really like that colour combo but for some reason I thought a 2" drop would be more noticeable. Mine is stock height with newish stock springs and I don't know if I can see any difference with this one

That is beautiful. It even looks green!

I'd like to know what tire/wheel combo it has.

Wow! Who knew GREEN could look so good??!! Your Monte is gorgeous, Norris!!

Looks like the el camino is running 15"'s with his drop spindles. So there's not an issue running smaller diameter wheels or do you have to be pretty specific about width and backspace to run drop spindles?

I'm glad you guys like the Monte. The wheels may look a little odd because the front tires are 225/50 r17 and the rears are my drag radials 27x10.5x16lt I wanted the most rubber between rim and the ground also CPP big brake disks needs 16" wheels thats the reason for different size.

This pic is the only side view I have with the rear road tires 255/50 r17:

I'd like to drop the front a little more BUT (big but) I snagged my headers on some railroad tracks (not fun!)

Thanks for the great comments.

I don't think the pic worked. maybe this will:

Really good looking Monte! I run tall ball joints they give me a 1 inch drop Check out SC&Cs website

Definitely give Marcus a call at SC&C.

He is a wealth of knowledge and is the author of the book "How to make your muscle car handle".
