I'm not sure if anyone actually makes those lower arms you are talking about. I've seen pics of someone on here who fabricated their tubular lowers with a drop pocket. The problem is that part becomes the lowest point of the front end, and subsequently is the part that will drag or hit something first. Good way to rip your front end apart..... That could be ugly.

As far as I've read & know, you can't run both dropped spindles & dropped a-arms w/o severe issues the the wheels interfering.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
