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.

Wink Spindles

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...
