Light weight spindles

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
