Exactly. The genesis was that I got the render and was talking w Matt and JCG Cris about ride height. Cris (the man) said 'no prob Ron, we can do anything you want.' AME has some low cars on their site, but Matt thought drop spindles would be the best approach and put me onto LG. The 1" drop in a c6 spindle does not have the same issues as what you see on a stock spindle; basically the same geometry can be achieved with a lower COG. Mr Rupp really had the roadmap on this so we started talking about design/weak points - one fix creates a new issue to look at so I had to go all in. Turns out LG has some track proven stuff and recently came out w these extruded pieces which made them within my reach. Fernando sourced them for me. Really a team effort.

BTW, I used full height body mounts but I know I'm in a world of hurt on my tunnel and inner fenders. Pretty sure the tubs and rear suspension is fine. Oh well, add two more items to the punch list...
