[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 596219, member: 20098"] To add to what has been said above, depending on how low you are already, all the dropped spindles are going to achieve is to allow you to run lower without hitting the limits of your ball joints. If you are at a height where this isn't happening, I wouldn't bother contemplating fitting them as they introduce more problems when keeping standard 14" wheels (ask me how I know!) Narrowed beams are really only required if your tyres are hitting the outer, lower parts of the arches - they just allow you to gain a bit of extra travel at the point of the wheel arch where there is most clearance between tyre and arch. As has been said, with your budget, dropped spindles and a narrowed beam are not going to be achievable, even if you do all the narrowing and cutting of leaves / track arms yourself. I'd use the money on some decent shocks and an anti-roll bar personally. Also, the dropped spindles / narrowed beam can be purchased for either drums or discs, you're not forced to swap to discs when you fit them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
