Hey, Drop spindles would help you a lot, or just a pair of sports shocks

Have you replaced the shocks or are you still running the stock ones? Chances are if you've slammed the front and still running stock shocks, then they will be bottoming out.

Try some shorter shocks first (bugpack oil shocks are good and economical) as this will help quite a bit and are a fair bit cheaper than dropped spindles.

If you can afford dropped spindles then go for it as they will give you a better ride, i'd also consider getting the disc versions and upgrading to disc brakes on the front at the same time, the spindles are one of the expensive bits of a disc brake upgrade!
