Lowered springs will make your ride less impressive.

Spindles will lower your ride and give you the same suspension as stock unless you add lowered springs........

also, spindles keep the stock geometry....get the most drop out of a spindle first, then go with the smallest drop coil.. (ex. 3" drop spindle, 1-2" spring.... not 3-4" drop spring, and 1-2" drop spindle.)
