strtlegal - so are your ATS/Speedtech spindles drop spindles? Not quite sure from your message. Those are pricey high-end spindles, aren't they?

My other thought was to go with the Hotchkis TVS front and rear 2" drop including the front sway bar with a CPP standard disc conversion and the tall spindle. Same wheels and tires. I'm trying to stay somewhat reasonable in price here. There is a hotrod shop here in my town that will do a front end only CPP disc conversion all included with new master cylinder, hoses and everything out the door for $1200. I'm thinking about handing them the Hotchkis springs and shocks and tall balljoints and having them do that since they have to take apart the spindles anyway and then just installing the sway bar and rear springs and shocks myself. Would that work, do you think in terms of getting me better handling and stopping without rubbing? Also, do you know if it's possible to keep the rear drums with the new CPP master cylinder until I get around to buying a complete posi new rear end with discs? I'm not looking to track this car, just improve handling and stopping over stock and get the right stance for now.
