IMO the drop pocket style a-arms aren't a good idea unless there isn't an alternative. The bottom of the a-arm is a potential problem spot on stock a-arm trucks that have been lowered & a dropped cup a-arm would only exaggerate this. My old roomate had a 65 SWB w/dropped a-arms & I had a 67 w/drop spindles & trimmed fact coils, his hung up on a city manhole cover @ about 35mph & totaled the truck(bowed the frame & buckled all the sheetmetal)& mine is still driving around yrs later only bottoming hard one time in a constuction zone.

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.*
