I'd say spindles. Most likely the more expensive route, but you're not sacrificing any ride quality. If you lower it too much with springs, you'd have to get an alignment also. But the springs would be cheaper, and while I've never used them, I'm sure the Hotchkis lowering springs ride just as good if not better then stock. My experience here is on my daily driven S-10. I did lowering spindles, then did lowering springs. The springs arent Hotchkis, but I only got about a 1.5" drop out of them. It rode exactly the same as the stock springs.
Truthfully, either one. The only major difference I'd say is price. If you're only planning on lowering it a inch or two, then choose whichever one. -----Original Message----- From: Jim & Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 21 Mar 2008 7:46 am Subject: [Chevelle-list] spindles or springs I? am looking for suggestions/advice on lowering the front end of my "72" chevelle. origonally a small block car, I swaped in a big block and liked the stance with the small block springs but didnt like when the header flanges bottomed out. I installed bbc springs and now I think the front is to high. I can lower it via springs or spindles and am looking for pro's and con's for both. thanks, Jimmy. C
