Nice job. I like the way you used the old stub as a locater and support.

color me new, but why "drop" spindles on a buggy? Is it a street car? OR is there something I don't understand here?

The spindles are dropped [repositioned lower than their original location] thus raising the front axle or beam.

Yeah, we all call them "drop" spindles , but they should be called "dropped" spindles, referring to the location of the spindle on the knuckle. Drop spindles are what street guys use to lower stuff.

Its nice you don't have to hack-up 2 sets of spindles for those. With a little modes you could use it for K/P too. Nice!
