That spindle set up is a race style spindle not intended for street use and designed for a narrow front wheel. It won't work with a wide wheel.

Our lowers will work with any other K-Member as long as that K-Member is just like stock mounting points.

Yep same here, ordered mine on 9-6 just got it yesterday. Still waiting on Strange to ship my axles, I would imagine they will be here any day. Heres a few pics.





Everything looks great, they tied down everything in the box very well. I didnt read through all the instructions but it appears theres plenty of paperwork included. After taking the 3rd member out of the box I almost wish I went with the aluminum center section because it was heavy. I just put my car in storage so this wont get done until spring so just gonna leave everything right in the box for now.

Everything else of yours is sitting here including the wheels and tires. Waiting on the thru-bolt still. We can discuss other options if you want to go another route like we talked about in the past just give me a call at your convenience.

We set up all the center sections here in house. We then drop ship the axles from Strange once everything else ships out. Same with the drive shaft. Unless we assemble it per customer request and it goes out in a crate and everything comes from us.

Like most of our summer we have been waiting on parts from other manufactures, down to steel itself even. Housings we can have done in a timely fashion, the fact that we have thousands of different possibilities in putting these in package form can some times slow things down. We stock a lot of items for a small shop, but can't stock them all and if the manufacture runs out of them then we have to wait for it to come in.

We are a small personable shop that does things that no one else does and that's builds components to customers specs, we make it so you are not stuck with one companies items only. We will change and alter our product to your needs. That is why Midwest Chassis is so popular. We build a great product the way you want it built.

We want to thank everyone for the great year we have had and hope to have another great year next year helping everyone out. To all our past customers please remember if you need anything feel free to call us and we will be there to help you with all your needs.

Thanks everyone and have a good X-Mas and a Happy New Year..

Your stuff really is top notch. I had a 9" setup in my Trans Am street car that was awesome, only reason I sold it was that that the race car roller I bought already had a Moser in it fully setup for drag, one of these days ill pick up a housing and axle package from you but probably after a front k member setup

They are well worth the wait. Now I just need to get a few weeks into my new job (that pays enough to mod the car again), then I'll be calling you Eric to order a rear end, drive shaft and front suspension. Does the upper arms work with the stock spindles and can you make the K-member to fit Spohn solid motor mounts?

Yes we can make our K-member or a-arms to work with any stock style component. We can also modify if it needs to be done.

Is this one of those trick question like what came first the chicken or the egg?

Everything working OK on your install? I appreciate the order and you can still hit me up with questions at any time..
