I had to google this to figure out what you meant... I would suggest using the standard means of lowering: lowering springs, lowering strut tops, coilovers... I don't know if drop spindles are made anywhere for the FC, maybe someone else knows.

Google searches are better to find things on this site than the built in search bar lol!
This might help, shot in the dark.....

yeah ive been looking through google for 3 days...i know they sell the ones that change the steering angle but wondered if they also made them for a loweed ride height....reason is i want to keep the stock suspension geometry while still lowering the car...

if you have an s4, you can unbolt the ball joint and move it to the top of the arm. stock location is below the control arm. that will keep your geometry with a 1.25" drop. if you have an s5, you should look at extended ball joints. 'drop spindles' arent really necessary imho

if you have an s4, you can unbolt the ball joint and move it to the top of the arm.

This does not help correct for roll center as the ball joint location has not changed on the spindle nor at the chassis where the arm rotates.

If it allows the arm to again be angled down at the spindle end with vehicle at rest it will help you gain a tiny bit of negative camber again on compression.

So far no one has made a roll center correction kit for FCs (which will involve dropping the ball joint further from the spindle with a spacer) though there was a post that AWR was working on this.

Email AWR letting them know that there is interest in this piece so they get to making it!
