I am looking to see a before and after pictures of anyone who has put in 2" drop spindels. I am debating on using stock vs. 2" drop.

You mean exterior pics? the real story behind dropped spindles is under the car...check David Pozzi's website and the following link

it seems that if you don't want the rims to rub the ball joint, you have to use a rim size where the tire's gonna rub the body, so if you use dropped spindles, your choice is where you want things to rub.

The general consensus here is to lower the front by changing the springs not the drop spindles. The drop spindles often create interference problems between your wheels and the tie rod ends.
With that said, my car is dropped 2" front and rear. Click the link below for some additional photos.

OK I am not using drop spindels is there a spring that that I can buy vs. cutting the spring to lower the front end?

You may want to consider their TVS kits. Read posts by David Pozzi, he was very helpful to me. My springs are sitting in the garage waiting to be installed.

Do a search and you will find tons of posts and pictures.
