Question Spindles?

Good afternoon all!

I was looking at a heavily modified 300C - and the suspension has been changed. He said he put 2" with Drop Spindles - not bagged. This is not an air-ride system, and I'm a Noob when it comes to suspension.


What exactly are Drop Spindles?

How does it affect the ride quality?


-Thanks in advance guys!

Dropped Spindles

Dropped spindles are made by lowering the upper A arm pickup (1-2") as well as lowering the lower ball joint pickup by same amount. This will lower the car the amount the pickups were lowered. Despite previous post, many people choose to lower their vehicles using dropped spindles. Advantages are no change in steering geometry or camber. The car simply sets lower. I made dropped spindles for my 68 Barracuda to lower it 1". A fairly simple straighforward way to change ride height.
