Drop spindles for drag racing?

[Pappy]

I’ve searched and not gotten a definitive answer on whether drop spindles are ok or will they hurt the launch for drag racing a g body. My set up is: 1986 Regal, Moroso rear drag springs, Speedway Motors boxed rear trailing arms, gasadjust shocks, 3.73 gears in the stock rear end. Front suspension is Moroso drag springs, Competition Engineering 3 way adjustable shocks, no sway bar. I have not undertaken any weight reduction on the car as yet. The front end needs to come down about 2 inches for looks (stance). Will drop spindles get me the look/ stance without harming the launch at the drag strip? Still running the stock 307 now but hoping to upgrade in the near future to an Olds 350. Thanks.

you're fine,the shocks/springs are running the show.

You might want to wait if you haven't got your slicks and tires you want, it might give you a better stance. No the drop spindles won't hurt you I run them on my Sonoma

Hub location on the spindle does zero to suspension for launch.
