These are almost new, only had them on my car for a few days with about 6 passes on them. Then when to a lighter setup with diffrent spindles,A arms, rack, everything.My car was still under 3K pounds with me, with these spindles and PS, stock upper.lower arms, as in the 1st pic. How?....They save a ton of weight with drag brakes. I had these spindles custom made with the stock style taper tire rod hole, so a stock rack and taper tie rods will bolt on. Other lightweight spindles will not bolt to stock tierods. You would have to buy a metric thread adjuster to thread on the stock rack, and a rod end bumpsteer kit. Cost about $150-$200. You can use these spindles with any rack, a aftermarket manual rack with 1/2 or 5/8th rod end end links. You just have to drill out the taper to the size you need. Same thing you have to do, to run any aftermarket rack on stock spindles (pa,madman,bmr, burkhart, trz ect).
(spindles only, dose not come with the wheel/brake rotor hub)
These spindles do not use a 4th gen style brakes ($990), with the bolt in wheel bearing. They use a much lighter and cheaper 3rd gen brake kits ($680).
With strange brakes they save 53 pounds
over stock LS1 spindles and brakes. Huge weight saving over getting drag brakes for the heavy cast stock spindles. And 3rd gen brakes cost about $300 LESS
then the 4th gen brake kit you have to buy to use on stock spindles
You dont have to use strange drag brakes, thats just the most common setups and what I ran. I know you can use stock 3rd gen brakes as the link on racecrafts site has the info on. And you can use areospace brakes, or willwood that has some vented rotor kits better for street driving a fell weight car. And some big 4-6 piston 13 rotor road race brake kits. But they do not fit all rim setups. Ive seen people run 17 and 18 rims, but stock 16s do not fit. I ran 15.
These are not the normal "used" worn looking, with 1+ years on them. If you can find a set, they do not sell used often if ever.
New they cost about $650. $580 plus $20 for the spindle castle nut kit (I'm including them) $30 shipping
Not brand new but look it. Selling these racecraft spindles (pair) and spindle castle nut kit $500 shipped US 48
I have 100% perfect traded rating, and sold more then 2-3x more parts then remembered to get a review on. They will be package very well, wrapped up in protective foam and shipping from New Era performance.
Basically your paying $100-$150 for these spindles if your going to buy a drag front brake kit anyway. And you end having a much lighter setup with a 12.5 pound lighter spindle with a 2inch drop. Then using your stock cast iron spindles with the 4th gen brake kit
Read this for the info if the difference

Ya, Just the spindle (pair) and the castle nut kit $500 shipped US 48
I listed the brakes info tiring not to get it to confusing.
because I know some of the people that read, or don't read, lol. About this style spindles will think they can use there stock brakes, or drag brakes they have already on there car. Pay for them or get them and go to install them and find out later they are not going to work with with stock style brakes. 
I've had it happen.
I didnt have a pic of just the spindles when I listed them. That 1st pic I added the other day, its how they are right now. There not brand new, but don't look used. I've bought never drivin. "test fit only" parts before and it looks like they used vice grips on them, and they sat outside on the car for a winter. (I bet they did) But this is not that case, I take care of my stuff
