Default Burkhart Chassis Drop Spindles
Here are a few shots. They use a 3rd gen brake and can be had in stock to 2" drop.

We can do Strange brakes as well.

Sample price 1100.00 for both spindles and a set of Aerospace brakes.

This is and easy 80+ pounds off the nose. The spindle and Aerospace brake is just at 20#s. The stock spindle weighs more than that.

They look nice. Do these maintain all of the stock geometry or do things need to be adjusted?

How much weight do they save over stock spindles. And is there a benefit to run a drop on the spindles?

Anything new as in what? They are out and for sale.

The spindle and brake setup are 26 pounds per side. That is roughly the weight of the stock spindle. The advantage of the drop is you can lower the ride height without changing the stock geometry.

The spindle is about 9 pounds. The stock spindle is about 26ish pounds depending on the scale and who you believe.

I meant in reguards to all the Aerospace issues and bashing? Weight savings looks good as does price in comparison to other kits, but if the product isn't as good...............kinda the get what you pay for deal. The post was kinda old so i thought maybe some more people out there that bought your kits would chime in and give their feedback?

We have sold 100s of sets of Aerospace brakes and not had an issue. If you want Strange brakes we can do that too.

The strange brakes are not any lighter than the Aerospcae brakes. The strange brakes add about 175.00 to the price.
