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.

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.

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.

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.
