the best fair price is ZERO, don't use drop spindles!

I think ATS spindles have an inch or so drop in them and those are just about the only ones that will be recommended here. Trouble is they are hard to get at any price. The wait is long...

An SPC LCA will give you a 1" drop.

ATS spindles are a 7/8" drop.Even then there can be some shimming of the steering arms, especially when using longer steering arms.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
