If you did your lowering with a set of these I don't think there should be any change in suspension geometry at all. I believe there are only 2 problems with dropped spindles. One is figuring out how to make them and with how much drop, and the second is finding someone to make them for you. It is a non trivial task. I believe the type 3 spindles are difficult because of the steering arm that lays across the inside of the knuckle. I guess type 1s don't have these, so you can make any amount of drop you want, but with a type 3 you have to clear this on the left side to allow the speedometer cable to pass. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
