I used spindles because they leave all the suspension components at the
same height as the factory intended, and none of the geometry is changed. If
you use a lower control arm, it changes the relation between it and the upper
control arm, as well as the ball joint. If you do choose to use the lower
control arm, you'll have to buy an upper one as well, whuch will probably end
up running you twice as much as the spindle anyways. I got 2" drop spindles
and 1" Eibach springts in front, and the ride is incredible. Oh and by the
way, don't forget the alignment when you're done :->

Anyone know what the difference between lowering with a spindle and
a control arm? I read something somewhere (anonymous mag) about
handling and/or ride differences, but I'm not all that sure. I wanna' know
before I buy anything, ya' know? Thanks in advance...
