Re: Confused about drop spindles vs lowering coils

2 + 2.5 certainly = 4.5", but chances are that is not the drop you will get. Generally that is the drop from the factory specified stock height. After 40+ years your stock springs are sagging. So if you have original springs, I would guess you are sagging an inch already, so those springs and drop spindles will likely give you 3.5" of drop from where you are today.

I would start with the spindles. You can always add the springs if it isn't low enough.
