Drag Racing Tech - Light weight spindles

http://www.racecraft.com/proddetail.php?prod=330049&cat=23

Any reviews on these? Looking to shed weight, but still want street ability. I couldn't find if these were drop spindles or not, or if they work with other factory components, i may give'em a call.

i have no clue on those spindles but i know PA Racing makes lightweight spindles

The Racecraft are drop spindles. The quality blows the PA stuff out of the water. The Racecraft ones work with Strange 3rd gen brakes but every thing else will bolt up. They are "RACE" only pieces.

We have drop spindles as well. THe spindle and brakes weigh a little less than the stock spindle.

Anyone have something i can run on the street and that isn't a drop spoindle, well maybe 1 inch but no more

Just run drag brakes on stock spindles.

I have the santhuff ones in the picture and they will build them any way you want.droped are stock. They use spherical bearings instead of ball joints. and you will need 1st gen bracks. they sale them direct. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=26620094&albumId=2855202
These where when we where playing with where i wanteted the tire to be also 4 inches more narrow.I love them but the only draw back is with the bearings is travel. i think 8 inch over all.

We can do stock to 2" drop. We do consider them race parts.

What is the weight per side of just the spindle?

I'm guessing they work with 1st gen brake kits...

Also, cost and availability?

I would be after the 2'' drop.

PA Racing make stock style lightweight spindles that arent drop

They might look "OK", but the geometry on them is wrong. Which you probably wont be able to see untill it's too late. Call up madman and get the Burkhart or racecraft ones.

We have the spindles set up for 3rd gen brakes. They are 1150.00 with Aerospace and 1350.00 with strange brakes. I don't have an exact weight on just the spindles. I'll have to get Chuck to weigh them. With brakes and the spindle they are 21 pounds per side. Or, a few pounds lighter than the factory spindle.

That is outstanding for the weight, wow. Do you have these ready to go out the door?

Will you sell the spindle by itself?

We can sell the spindles alone. they are 569.00.

What drop are you looking for? We can do Stock 1" 1.5" and 2"

I am pretty sure we have a set of 1.5" ready to go. We have everything for the others but would need to send them out to powder coat.

Those in the pics are Santhuff. The Santhuff stuff is second to no one. They are C/M and aluminum. The weight is no where close to what a stock spindle is. But they are high as hell.

Are they good for daily street use? link?

We consider them a race part. We have not tested them on a street car and do not recommend that.

I need to add them to the site and get some pics up. Gotta get some work done on the site this week.

Care to elaborate why? I would assume a lighter chromoly steel piece would be just as strong if not more strong than a cast steel piece. Are you guys just afraid of what could possibly happen legality-wise if something went wrong on someones car while on the street? I would understand your reasoning 100% if this were the case, we all know the kind of sue-happy people that are out there now.

PS, I'll be your street-car guinea pig if you want to throw a set this way :) i'll sign the necessary waivers too!

Do it! Your site is confusing sometimes with regards to what parts come in particular kits and whatnot.

Mine will be a "street" car. My car is a little lighter than most though. ;)

Gee thats funny the PA kit seems to work and look just fine to me.....Hmmm.

me and Jason did the a arms on mine . He was building his then . What does he use for ends? and from bottomed out to hung how much travel. As i stated the sathuffs are limited on travel compared to a ball joint,In the pics yours looks to drop quit a bit. Nice looking car . And what did your alignment guy say when he put it on the machine. My guy said it would align better than stock so the guys saying the geometry would be off i dont agree . my car drives great and we have trapped 177.

My alignment didn't even change! I have been street driving it with no issues. These are the 2in drops and I have the coils all the way at the top as it was bottoming out hard when the car would come back down. As for ends not sure I follow, travel really isn't much maybe 6-8 inches.

We have not tested them on the street. We do see a liability issue as well. They are a stronger than stock part but without a lot of street time we can't say with 110% confidence that they won't have an issue. Just straight up info.

Ours are designed to keep the stock suspension geometry at whatever drop from stock to 2" you get.

If you guys have questions let me know. I don't get on this too much (don't really care for it) but from time to time when guys call I check out a few post. If any one needs info on our stuff let me know. I'm sure guys will always say I or we don't or can't make good stuff but I would like to think that if that was the case i'd be long out of business by now. :) Our spindles don't change anything a fit pretty well I can also make you car have almost any travel needed. I've been doing this stuff for over 15 yrs now I think I can make about anything for 4th gen cars. I will say our stuff was designed for the track but I do have quite a few guys using them on dailey drivers. I don't recommend the drop stuff on street cars but some guys prefer to use them. For those who want info you can e-mail me @ Jason@paracing.com

Ends is the ends of the spindle ( i reread and it confussed me) The sathuff uses spherical bearings . I was just considering them for future builds. The sathuff is high as hell. And Jason had not come out with his when i put mine in. He was working on them . I have his a arms and k member . I have used 4 or 5 of his K members .

I ran your chrome moly front end parts on my daily driver and never had an issue. The car never saw a trailer, ever, and I even took the car on Power Tour and many other trips all over the country.

i will say a 2" drop is huge! a 1" or .5" drop would be about right for a stock suspension car... if its a daily driver a .25" drop or .5" drop at the most...
