Let's say you have that with the current setup. . .nice thing about a "tall, drop" spindle is the lower arm stays exactly where it is, but the car is a couple of inches lower and the upper arm is now angled up so it increases camber in a turn, which aids handling. (if your lower arm is not parallel with the ground we have other things to look at).

The reason we state these spindles should only be used with tubular arms is that we cannot ensure there is no ball joint bind with the OE arm (if you install our entire "kit" we know where everything is). I would try them out, but make sure you don't reach ball joint bind as this is a major issue.

If you have bind you can pick up the upper control arms as well, which will resolve the problem (as we change the ball joint angles). It will take a little more out of your wallet at the moment, but you'll be closer to that coil over setup you really want anyway.

True - and thank you!
