Hmm, while Paul Tegler struggles with spring rates, I've got another one for
ya.

Say, just for the sake of argument, mind you... that... a friend is
considering lowering his GT6.  Now, *I* know perfectly well that a Spit/GT6
can't be lowered much at all before it starts dragging its diff, but my
littlevoice... I mean friend, wants to drop the front ohmaybe 3/4 inch.

One option, and the easy one, is to scrounge some shorter springs.  But just
popping in a shorter set of sproingers will settle the suspension at 3/4 inch
of "bump".  Is that good?  Prolly not... for one thing, it locks in some
negative camber.  A better option would be new vertical links with the
spindles offset upwards by the required amount of drop.

Now, where would my friend find such a set of spindles?  ...Santa?  ...Joe? 
...anyone?

or is there an easier way?
