im also very interested in the drop spindle idea aswell, ive heard about them but i have no idea how they work, my XE will be built as a cruiser/ nats car, so i want it as low as it can feasibly go.

what it is is a custom arm with the stub axles sitting 2 (or 4 inch) higher, which means you've got an extra 2 inch clearance.

The stub axles are hq holden axles. You need to get a pair of them and then send them to rodshop and they redrill them to suit the ford ball joints. The steering arms are also modified to take the ford tie rod end.
The reason they drop the ride height by 2 inches is because they are 2 inches shorther in height. The axle is also up the stub more on the hq than the xf. The short of this is that over a 2 inch travel when you hit a bump the wheel developes 3mm negative camber. This should make the front end turn in better and hold the corner better. If your wanting an opinion of whether they are worth it or not wait till i have them in my car. I'm putting them in grandfinal weekend. Cheers

I got mine for $45 for both stubs and steering arms.
Rodshop charged me $300 for the machining. Cheers
