Hotchkis Suspension Issue

[72elco]

Hey guys

So I have a 72 Elco that has global west upper and lower arms and hotchkis 1" drop springs. I have a complete hotchkis rear end system.

Obviously Stance is a huge part in any car and right now as it sits, it should really be dropped another inch up front at least. My question is should I order some 2" drop spindles and see where it takes me? should I order new spings and spindles? Cut the hotchkis springs? I am sure I am not the only one to run into this situation.
The car currently has 17x8 up front, eventually i want to put 18x9's up there. Will this be a problem with drop spindles?

thanks for the help guys!
