Default Control Arms

yeah thats what I'm worried about when mix matching parts. I know Hotchkis is so commerical, but their stuff works and I've seen the results. And I'd love to design a fully adjustable front end like Steilow, but I think I know enough to know I should NOT tackle it. lol I've recently compared the new M5 to the new Charger SRT8 and then to the Trailblazer SS. Each are unique in their feel, but they all handle the road so well with the right amount of feel. I don't really want hardcore race car feel, but that even level of comfort and performance. However I fight myself with that statement all the time. lol I jump from my Impala which is very track ready into a new charger and say, wow this is nice. lol In reality it can't hold a corner really hard without understeer!

Right now I'm leaning toward global west arms, standard height spindle and Hotchkis springs. Now to make it work without rubbing... Anyone have opinions about which is better, drop spindles or drop springs? I'm torn...cause sus. travel is great to have, but not when it's up into the fenders and my frame is draggin!
