It is said that when you do a 4/6, but really a 5/7 drop the a arms get beat to death since they can come in contact with speed bumps. So you have to go straight over them.

If you have the time, and skill a pancaked cross member. With a small Z solves the frame scrub line issues, and smacking a arms in to speed bumps. All while giving you the stance you want. It cost less, but takes a bit of time.

People do it DJM arms, but you should be aware of the issues they may cause you.
