      73 Camaro spindle dilemma, 2" drop or standard height

      Hey fellas, I'm in a confusing pickle with spindles for my never ending 73 Camaro project! I've reached out to SC&C for advice a few times but sadley haven't received a return call. SO.... where do I start!

      Some years ago, I upgraded/rebuilt my front suspension with speedway upper tubular control arms, new CPP calipers, CPP 2" drop spindles and rebuilt my stock lower control arms with premium parts. I required trck upper ball joint for the control arm thats about 1/2 longer with a 7 degree taper and reamed the upper spindle mount to fit. I also added QA1 hybrid coilovers to get that low stance that I love. The front end was so low that the front wheels (18s) were touching the wheel wells which i was planning to cut for wheel clearancing. NOW- I decided to upgrade my upgrade to full tubular control arms from CPP and do a big brake conversion from a 2015 Camaro SS. I bought the brake brackets from BigBrakeUpgrade (very knowledgeable and helpful) to convert my drop spindles. I was all good until I learned that CPP also sells C5 spindles in standard ride height which made me start thinking about ride geometry (I know nothing about). I love the protouring look and feel but don't know much about it.

      So what do you guy recommend for a street car with my current set up? Keep the 2" drop spindles with the 1/2 longer ball joint or go with the CPP AFX standard height spindles and adjust my desired low stance through coilover adjustments? Which option has better street handling geometry? Thanks in advance guys! I know we love seeing pics of the topic so I took a few of her current resting glory.
