Re: Need help knowing what I have I know sounds dumb
Do the spindles look like they're 37 years old? I'd be surprised to learn that someone would spend the money and energy to change out the spindles and then just take a torch to the back springs - those are so easy and cheap to change...

Crawl down and look at your spindles. If the spindle comes out of the carrier at the bottom edge, it's stock. If the spindle comes out in the middle, you got a drop spindle.

If they heated the back springs, they probably didn't spend the money on drop spindles.
They probably just cut a coil off the front springs to lower it.
