dropped spindles revisited

A dumb question,perhaps, but I'm bored.  Mustang II suspensions are common under street rods, and so they sell dropped spindles.  It's also a coil-over set up.  So I'm thinking 2 things.
1.  would drop spindles work on a stock mustang front?  (I'm going with fox stang arms under an 87 tc to pull the tires in behind the fenderwell)
2.would coilovers even make it easier?

I'm also considering building a full frame, so...It certainly ain't gonna be a daily driver.

The Mustang II Suspension is a double A-Arm Setup.


The Fox Suspension is a Modified MacPherson Setup.


I other words no.

Someone sells... or used to sell drop spindles for Fox Stangs. Not sure who though...

They do sell the drop spindles, theyre rather new as a matter of fact.
It's Gumby's fault.

I was using the MII as an example, hope the wording didn't confuse everyone, but now I know they certainly aren't interchangeable.  I read here thru search about race-craft dropped spindles(thus the revisited part), but was wondering if anyone else heard of some other brand out there since 2004?  Probably not cheap either, I s'pose.  And would lowering with coilovers be easier than modifying the spindles?  I'm talking 3-5" drop.  Thanks for the link, btw.
