i cant drop the car that much due to how i have the exhaust set up cuz i have long tube headers on it and they hang down pretty far under the car. i was more or less lookin for a light weight set of spindles that still retained the factory height, do u have anything similar to that???

How soon can these be had? I know yours weigh 6 lbs what does a factory spindle weigh? Specifically I am looing for a set with stock or 1 inch drop and aerospace brakes. Also are you a Areospace dealer? If so do you know the part number for the bracket to allow dual calipers to be installed on a moser 12 bolt using the factory 4th gen backing plate bolt pattern but the large ford bearing. What I want to do is put new stuff on the front. I already have Aerospace on the rear I just need the bracket to allow me to put 2 sets of calipers on the rear. I know they make it as I have seen several turbo cars with this setup but I cant find a part number and emails to Aerospace have not been returned. Let me know if I need to order them in advance (the spindles) and if you can get me the bracket and how much it is. If you check with Chuck I just sent a deposit (Money Order) to you guys week before last as one of my cars is headed your way for a cage in November. If I could pick the spindles/bracket up at the same time and save some shipping that would be great.
Thanks

We can have a set out in a week. If I remember right the stock ones are in the 20 - 25 pound range. Maybe more, I can't remember.
We can get the caliper bracket and extra caliper as well. I'm not at the shop and don't have the part number.
I would order the spindles and rear brake stuff in advance and we'll have it ready for you.

Ok I was just checking so if it was a long process we could get started.
I just need the bracket I already have calipers.
thanks

FYI, LT1 spindles are 24.5 lbs each with hubs (tried to sell them but they aren't worth the cost to ship). The LS1 spindles I swapped in felt slightly lighter but I didn't weigh them.
