I disagree.

The reason why is these were aftermarket dropped a-arms (which I indicated). The spring pocket was about 1.5" below the same lowest point vs. the stock lower arm it was swapped for.

In a dropped LCA that is properly built, I don't see any drawbacks over a dropped spindle.
I agree.
I feel properly stepping a set of stock arms would be similar to dropped spindles.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
