Re: drop spindle turning radius
I dont think you lose much, and going only 3 tire clearance is not an issue with "normal" tires. I would not do coils only for a 3 inch drop, the ride kind of sucks. Do the dropped spindle and a 1+ inch dropped coil, but start with a proper spindle for lowering.

Re: drop spindle turning radius
lots of guys loose turning radius by having tires that are too wide and too tall

Re: drop spindle turning radius
The spindles do not limit your turning radius. Wheel backspacing and tire size is what will do that and that is only because of rubbing issues. WES
