the springs are cheaper and usually you need stiffer springs to prevent bottoming out if you lower the car. drop spindles can also cause steering issues: http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115255

cheaper doesn't mean better. Things can't always be about saving a few dimes. And no need for a stiffer spring, the bump stops wil andle that. You4 have to hit a dip pretty ard to bottom out depending on what size tire/wheel combo your going wit.

Bump stops shouldn't be used too much. Best to go with a slightly stiffer/shorter spring. Plus you'll have to go that route in the rear, as lowering blocks are crap.

I have been doing a bit of research and it seems like Springs are the most common and recomended has any one ever used spindle or springs to lower their car??
