In that case use your stock spindles and get the SC&C tall ball joints. Have you called Mark at SC&C? He's very knowledgeable and very helpful.

The top picture does not appear to be a tall spindle; the Heidt's spindle does. The potential issue with a drop spindle (both of the spindles you pictured) is often outer tie rod to wheel interference. The Heidt's site says:

Remember that even though it is a direct bolt-on part, a Dropped Spindle is a different design spindle and compatibility of mating parts is the responsibility of the installer.
You might also call Heidt's and see what they say. They are, apparently, trying to be more pro-touring oriented.
