Yep, going from B-spindles to AFX spindles lowered my car 5/8" in the front with no other changes, I would expect yours changed the same amount as we made the exact same swap.

Is there any provision for spring spacers in the Hotchkis lower arms? For my GW arms a few years ago I machined aluminum spacers to fit between the spring nest and the urethane spring isolator. A 1/2" spacer will bring the front ride height up 1"... if you can do it it would be cheaper & easier than getting new springs and having them powdercoated.
