That's the thing, in theory, drop spindles "shouldn't" hurt the ride, as the geometry of the strut compression, spring rate etc doesn't change. But I absolutely felt a difference in the ride. That being said it was kind of hard to tell how much of what I was feeling was from the rear, where I had drop struts.
That's what scares me when I talk to all these suspension shops they will say oh it won't hurt the ride or it might barely stifen up the ride but nothing too noticeable. I guess some people are just more sensitive to the ride than others. Did the lowering spindles make it take bumps in the road more harshly?
Yes but again, I may have experienced a harsher ride because of the combination of having rear drop struts. I think with rear lowering arms, it would've been better. Streets play a big role as well. I live on Long Island and it's awful by me, just terrible. If I lived in Florida I probably would've never felt a difference in ride quality at all.
