Default Racecraft spindles

First things first I picked my spindles up today and the quality is of the utmost best. these weigh 10.7 each on my digital scale and by the looks of it will take a 6 foot wheel stand, god forbid it would happen. next on the agenda is the install and strange brakes

I saw them in person in Memphis at the LSX event and they are a work of art!
Post the weight difference when you get them installed.
Thanks for the pics.

I'm interested to see how they look with the 2" drop. Is the rear of your car lowered as well?

The Spindles are a stock replacement unbolt the old, bolt on the new, but you do need to run 1LE type brakes or after market brakes such as Strange, Wilwood , or Aerospace. Here is a thread on third gen .org about the different brake configurations our 3gen and 4gen spindles can use all the same brakes.
