Default 2" drop spindles for drum brakes?

I have a 68 camaro that I bought a Baer front disc brake conversion kit. The kit works with the original drum spindles, however I want to get 2" dropped spindles. Where do you find these? Summit Racing apparenlty doesnt have the part I need, and most places are selling 2" dropped spindles for original disc brake setups. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks

You may want to consider lowering springs instead of the drop spindles. You'll have to realign your front end but that isn't a big deal. I don't have any exerience with the springs but I added drop spindles on my car and what I don't like is that the control arms are now so low to the ground my floor jack won't fit under them. That was something I hadn't thought of before. More of a nuisance than anything but something to consider.

I cut the springs originally when I had the stock suspension, but I have QA1 adjustable coil overs in the front now. Would cutting the springs ruin the performance?

Ideally it would be nice to find 2" dropped spindles for just a stock drum setup...but I'm getting the feeling no one makes those...
