Another bag question

looking to lower the front of my 72 about 5-6 inches. Do i need spindles and bags or just bags. Are tubular A- arms necessary ? I dont want the front wheels to tilt in like some do when aired out.

Then you definately want spindles. The A-Arms just have a deeper pocket for the springs or bags to sit in. Spndles provide more drop without a change in A-arm angle.

You're still going to get negative camber with spindles and bags, inevitable. I have the ART kit and DJM spindles on my 83 and it has negative camber when laid out.

You dont want to drive it laid out anyway so I would worry more about keeping camber dialed in when at ride height. How low are you wanting to go when aired out? And how low do you want your ride height?
