On my buddy's 50 ford we put drop spindles and good lowered springs for the front. In the back de-arched springs and a small lowering block and it handles good with little sway in corners.

On the other hand is my 54 plymouth with heated springs in the front putting it almost to the ground and 4" of lowering blocks in the back. Body sway is when the (in this case the rear) body swings (feels like its rolling) in turns or when breaking. kind a like the feeling ya get on one o those front porch hangin rockin chairs IMHO drop spindles and apropriate springs are the way to go for a lowered look and good handling. It's worth the few extra bucks.

Madgrinder, I'll be goin the channel route soon and lovin every reinforced minute of it, see ya when the sparks are flyin.
