Not sure that I'd want this without some sort of similar arrangement in the back, but who knows?
Thanks for explanations.

Based on that it sort of begs the question what that 1" is worth in terms of lower CG, and if it would allow the max CG to be lower. I am guessing a big maybe. with 18" wheels and whatever appropriate tires, our cars can not really be lowered more than about 2" if you want to leave enough compression travel. Correct me if I am wrong.

So, if the spindle lowers our car an inch w no spring/height adjustment-that's good. BUT if our max lowering range is still 2", then the main benefit of this piece is going to be that the roll center will not drop as much which will give a shorter roll moment. 3" at max? Fine and dandy, but not sure that is a real "problem" with our car.

If it drops 50 lbs at the same time, gimme a price.
