Replacement Light Weight Spindles
The Strange GT front struts use the factory spindles. I do not know of an aftermarket spindle specific to the f-body. I believe the only way to eliminate the spindles is to go to a drag strut such as the Strange Ultra or Lamb Strut.

AJE offers a spindle for these car and so does Santhuff. Both require custom upper and lower control arms.

Hey Slickvert, here are some pics of my set-up, I got all of this through AJE, I was/am very happy with the quality and performance this front end gave me. I dropped nearly 300LB's with just this front, skinnies, an EWP and removal of power steering.

only problem with that setup is that it's not legal for alot fo classes.. but I do agree for a drag only car it is probably the best way to go. Sounds like just swapping to that front end with a manual steeering rack is a 275 lb weight saving.. awesome! I ever get really hardcore with my car, I'd put that on if whatever class I'm runnign allows it, sounds like that alone would get me down to where I want to be weight wise, with the bumper supports and all still in the car 
Im pretty sure you cant do anything lighter in the front, this is why I went this route.
The quality is top notch and I am very happy with it. You wouldnt be disapointed with it!!
