Re: Show Me Your Drop...
they both look pretty good...hard to decide. Wonder what would be more suitable with 18's front and back?

Re: Show Me Your Drop...
There is an excellent thread in the FAQ that has tire/wheel sizes along with amounts of drop listed. If your budget can handle 18" or 20" rims you should probably be shopping for a drop that's going to use a drop spindle (they don't add that much to the cost). Anyway my drop is all Early Classic, 2.5" drop spindle along with a 1" drop coil up front. Out back are 6" drop coils and a super track bar. Wheels are 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear.

Re: Show Me Your Drop...
If I go with the drop spindles wouldn't I have to go with the whole disc conversion? That could get kinda expensive.

Re: Show Me Your Drop...
The Early Classic website does say disc are required in order to use their drop spindles. If you buy all new parts I could see it getting expensive but it always seems that someone has some used parts available for cheap. I would think with the added weight of 18" or 20" wheels that disc would be a logical step on your project. If you are just dead set on not buying spindles/discs I think I would look at using a 2" drop spring in the front.

Re: Show Me Your Drop...
So, Kevin, with Lewis Farbrication, What is your drop really? I have a 5/7 drop on mine w/ no air and it doesn't sit as low as yours, but I like how yours sits!
