Does anyone make a tall spindle (like the ATS units) that is not a drop spindle? I am running the Hotchkis TVS system so I already have a 2" drop.

As far as i know ATS is the only unit that is not also a drop spindle. it also gives you a easy C5 brake conversion

Actually, the ATS spindle drops the car an inch. Every other tall spindle I've seen drops the car 2".

Well damn, Mr. PC Tom.... Sorry I generalized a their own generalization. GOSH!!!!:box2:

Just playin. This is from their site.


How far will the AFX spindles drop my car?
Both the tall and the stock AFX spindles will lower the vehicle approximately one inch.

And I don't think most people would realize that 7/8" is almost a full inch, so the general 1" works for them.

How'z about dem apples, huh? GOSH!!!@!!:Alchy:

But i am woried about having almost a 3" drop. I will have to run 19" wheels because of my brakes and worry about height

You might have to adjust your springs....wait? 19's what is your overall wheel /tire diameter?

Why don't you want to run 18's? The brakes shouldn't be an issue as the C6 Z06 uses 18" front wheels, so long as they clear the spokes.

I have Hotchkis 2" drop springs, ATS tall spindle and 25.5" tire. I wish my front was an inch lower.

If you don`t want it quite that low use an Energy Suspension 9.6101G thick spring isolator on top of your Hotchkis springs. It`ll add back about 1/2"-5/8" of ride height so you`ll only have an additional net drop of about 3/8"-1/2". We sell these along with SC-AFX packages all the time for exactly this reason. :twothumbs Mark SC&C
