Sorry, I just wanted to see an inside shot of how it looks behind the caliper. Since there is no upper A-arm I was trying to figure out how the spindle stayed secure. When you buy this setup, do you pretty much have to buy everything you have from AJE to make it work? Do you need a special type of coil over, or could my HAL's still work?

Thanks for helping out and posting up the extra Pics .

Thanks, I am hoping to get the car moving out pretty damn fast. I know of a guy in a 3000lb car with as smaller motor same cam and not as good heads on a 400 shot going 5.2 in the 1/8th which is moving out, Ill be spraying more and bigger cubes so we will see. I think it should go 8's pretty easy but how far into the 8's I dont know........

LOL, Well im hoping it will. Leaving at around 6k on a 400-500 shot with a 500rwhp motor (hopefully) it shouldnt be much of an issue if it hooks and holds up. Rear is grenade proof as well is the tranny and the motor should hold as long as the heads stay on. like I said a 408 on a 400 with 505rwhp through a glide and slicks but 300lbs ill be a couple hundred more was going 5.2 in the 1/8th and that is close to a 7 sec pass in the 1/4. 4.5's is like 7.2's I think.....

Do you have to run the Willwood brake package with the AJE spindles?

I would not think so, you just need a brake set up that has a new hub and all that works with the spindle.

This car will be completely street legal and will be driven on the street on FRI nights to a local meet. I have not done it yet so I will have to see how it behaves but as far as it being legal it is 100%. Im running in the garage right now to get those pics.
