For many it's finance related. My personal philosophy is upgrading to discs is a must; not a want. Not everybody agrees.

Swapping some shorter springs for drop is relatively cheap. Upgrading to discs @ the same time adds cost if the current brakes are deemed acceptable by the owner (no problem to solve).

Oh, I understand the finance side of things completely, but when he already has a drop spring and wants to use a drop spindle, you gotta do what you gotta do. There aren't really any more options without spending money.

But trying to come up with other solutions like a drop A-arm is just quite rediculous when there are much better/safer options out there.

but hey,, thats just my opinon.
