what's purpose of running the drop? Is it to make up for difference in ride height due to less weight on the nose? Suspension geometry?

I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind it. I have the Racecraft spindles on my car and it actually acts like travel limiters. I had to crank the adj shocks up alot to get my car where I can load it on the trailer and the shocks are almost fully extended. I wish I would have seen the Burkhart spindles that allow you to keep the stock height as 2" of drop is way too much for most cars.

I'm with you. It has to change the angle on the LCA's.

They will allow you to lower the car and maintain the stock suspension geometry. That's the short answer.

Have you seen a car that has been lowered and the front tires sit out at the bottom? When the car was lowered it altered the suspension geometry as iff the wheel was very far up in its range of travel.

The spindles will fix this if used correctly for the drop you want.

that's what i figured. keeps caster/camber stock when running a shorter spring.

i meant stock lenth springs.

Yep, you are correct.

2" drop is too much for anything other than a back-halfed car. a stock suspension car can use a .5" drop spindle and that would be about right. i had burkhart build me a stock height spindle after having a 2" drop on it.

There is definitely a place for a 2" spindle, but it's not needed on the majority of cars. Stock suspension cars would be better off with stock height or a 1" drop if there has been extensive weight reduction.

I have 1.5" drop on mine but it never sees the street. Hell it's only seen the trailer for a while now. But 1.5 is about as far as I would go even on a full race car.
