Magnum Force 2" Drop Spindle
Thank you for the info I will rethink that over.

No problem!
I actually ran Magnumforce drop spindles on my Challenger for awhile. Like I said, the geometry changes aren't really something that are glaringly obvious if you're just driving on the street. For me though, I found that with larger torsion bars I could lower the car just as much using the torsion bar adjusters, and the car handled better. There's just a bunch of things that come up at about the same time with a ~2" drop, and the drop spindles really only solve one of those issues.
If you're really against larger torsion bars, then the drop spindles are really the only way to go. And if you truly are planning on lower the car a full 2", then you do need pretty large torsion bars. I'm using 1.12" bars, and I'm pretty much at the limit for suspension travel with those at my ride height. So, with smaller bars than that you couldn't be as low as my car is. But, my car is pretty low. And I really can't go much lower before I run into other problems.
To me though, if you're lowering the car so it will handle better, there's no reason for drop spindles. If you're just lowering the car for cosmetics, and you want to keep the softer, smaller diameter torsion bars, then the drop spindles will work. But they aren't a cheaper option, and really all they provide is a lower ride height, not any kind of improved suspension geometry.
if there is anyone on this forum I trust when it comes to suspension stuff, its

Thanks! I'm no expert, but I have learned a few things the hard way!
