Leaning towards investing in a set of dropped spindles since I want to go low but still use oem lower control arms and torsion bars and not f..k up my front suspension angles more than necessary.
The ones I have found are from Magnum Force, PST, performanceonline and fatman fab.
Anyone familiar with theese? Pros and cons?

I haven't heard any negatives for any of these brands but, as this a essential safety component, I don't imagine any one of these companies would skimp on engineering or materials.

I ran FatMan on 2 A bodies. No problem.1 had tubular upper arms the other stock. Got the ride height where I wanted,and the T-bars set to handle the travel. Both cars drove great. At the time FatMan were the only ones available.
 
I have 2 cars/projects with them. Neither has been driven yet, but they appear to be of high quality.
 
I think they're all the same, except for fatman. I don't remember which 2 companies I bought from....but they're the same. Maybe Magnum and PST??
 
I'd check with PST as they give a discount to the B Bodies members.
 
I know I wouldn't buy anything that has come from Magnun Force. Sounds like a pretty shitty company.
 
I've used a few sets of the PST ones B and E bodies. I think there are only two spindles. The Fatmans and the PST. I think the Fatman ones are based on C body spindles and I have never used those. The others one are made by one company but I can't remember who is making them.
The one issue I had is the factory 70-72 dust shield wouldn't fit the drop spindles. Holes in wrong spots.
Use them with 1" or larger T-bars.
 
But am I right in my assumptions on going with dropped spindles to try and avoid screwing up the front suspensions angles when lowering it?
