spindles or coils

Please help me out. I want to do 2"/4 drop.. Nothing to wild as I will be driving it daily. I see both kits out there. The Coils seem more economical, as I want to replace them anyways. But how about ride, durability and performance? What should I choose, keeping budget in mind. Are 2" drop coild hard on the balljoints etc. THANKS

I did a 2" 3" drop on my 71 swb with springs and shocks, had a shop align it, no problems, love the way it handles with front and rear sway bars!
I should add, I installed new lower ball joints at that time and this was about 35K ago, still no problemo.

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
