Is it common for Vee's to run drop spindles or is it more typical for guys to run stock spindles and lower the height/adjust with shims?

From the GCR:...no other modification of the wheel spindle is permitted.
Further: non VW replacement spindles shall maintain the same geometric relationship between the spindle and the king pin bore and boss.
