I am sure they are very busy with the multitude of questions... Let me tell you what happened with a drop spindle install on a stock sub frame, stock a arm 69 camaro. My buddy has orange 69 rs/ss Camaro. He decided to put the tall 2 inch drop spindles on his car. He was paying me to put on the disk brakes on the car so he asked if I would put on the spindles why I was at it. I have to say they are really well made parts very thick and heavy and the machining is very good. My buddy paid to have them powder coated and gave them to me. I installed them no problem everything fit great. We put the car on the ground and had to adjust the QA1 coil over kit all the way up to get it to sit rite. Everything was cool until he went to get it aligned. The shop could not get enough camber in the car. Then they could only get .5 degree of caster on the passenger side because there were at least one inch of shims in the cross shafts. They ran out of adjustment on the passenger side because he is running Hooker Super Comp inch and 5/8 headers and they go rite where the a frame bolts towards the back of the car. I called Heights and the guy the phone said that he should have purchased there upper control arms because they make up the shortfall in the lack of caster. Long story short he was so pissed we went back to the stock stuff and sent the spindles back.
