Planning on a 2-4 drop. Various questions.

[R34P3R]

So I'm planning on lowering my 07 Classic with a 2-4 kit. I know very little on the subject but plan on doing the work myself.

 

First question: For the rear end, Belltech recommends installing a c-section kit. How drastic are the consequences of not installing one? Will my ride suffer on normal roads and fwys? If not, how much can a haul? I don't ever plan on hauling ever 300lbs. Second: I want a kit that works properly and wont cause any unwanted wear on my tires, joints etc. Some of the kits on the Belltech site come with different combinations of pieces. What the hell are the two black pieces on the bottom right corner? And what is the difference between using a spindle kit and a spring kit? I was under the impression that both spring and spindle need to be replaced in order to get a proper drop.

 

Also, for the shocks... is it possible to simply purchase a set for a vehicle with a lower, stock stance? If so... what vehicle should i purchase shocks for? Or are the specifically made for certain vehicles with certain drops and I'll have to purchase them from Belltech?

Doesnt matter if you go springs or spindles or lower control arms. Check out DJM as well. Those pieces in the pics you asked about are the spring hangers. Also 4" is the lowest you should go without a C-notch.
