1996-2004 Mustang 2" Drop Spindles Any Good?

That is a lot of money, just buy a set of H and R's I have never used them, but everybody wanting really low Mustangs gets H and R's recommendation.

Drop spindles are cool, but are silly on a street car; especially when you're talking about a 2" drop for that much cash (still gotta do the rear end, what would you do??).

IMO the drop spindles are the way to go, if the spindles are made correctly you will not need the bump steer kit, or the special ball joints to get the alignment back where it needs to be or any of the other associated BS that almost adds up to the price of the dropped spindles to begin with, and, the ride stays decent.
As an example:
A set of lowering springs (steeda) 1/2 of $229 = $115.00
The trick ball joint that fixes the screwed up roll
center from the lowering springs (steeda) $129.00
Bumpsteer kit (steeda)to fix what the springs
screwed up $ 149.00
_______
Grand total of $393.00

Trick spindles = $495.00, you save only $100 bucks

i thought about buying those exact spindles awhile back for the same reasons you want them, suspension geometry and ride comfort


sounded like a good idea at the time, then my brain slowly started working

a.) 2" is quite a bit for a Mustang, it doesn't sound like much but it is. i don't like the look of "slammed" Mustangs (imo, of course)

2.) where are you going to find just rear lowering spring? you can't cut the stock ones, the ride would be terrible and you'll blow the shocks in a month. you can't leave the rear as is either. 2 inches of fender gap up front and 6 inches out back would just look goofy

d.) with those spindles and a stock front suspension, you get just that, a stock (i.e. crap) front suspension. the stock springs aren't the greatest and you still have struts that'll fail in 50,000 miles

just get the standard spring/shock combo like everyone else. Ride quality is directly related to the combo, if you get 20$ ebay coilovers or cheapo springs you have a ****ty ride, if you spend the money on the right combo, you get a great ride.
