Hmm..... This would bring in several more decisions to make, which is ok. It just brings them up earlier than I expected.

I probably should have just gone with an entire Hotchkis or Ridetech suspension package to sit the car where I wanted it instead of going with the drop spindles. Then everything would have matched up. The way it is now I'm having to piece stuff together one mismatched item at a time.

I was hoping to temporarily get it at least drivable for a few hundred bucks before taking that step. However, if I'm going to be 600 to 800 into it, I may as well skip that temporary step and put the money into a performance kit now.

Thanks for verifying that. Still might be what I do, along with getting everything else straightened out as stock (save for the spindles).
