Well, I finally got the new L&H Kustoms spindle installed on my 71 Chevelle this past weekend. I have to thank Luke for all his help and for making the process as easy and delay-free as possible. I was putting this on my daily driver so I couldn't afford any long delays or problems. My current setup is as follows:
Fatman drop spindles, AirRide shockwaves, S&C UCA's, Baer Track brakes, Hotchkis 1 1/4 sway bar, 17" AR wheels. I wanted to put a Tall non-drop spindle on it as I was finding I needed to put too much pressure in the airride bags up front to keep it at a decent height and the ride was really rough, but I still wanted to keep the handling benefits of a tall spindle
The install needed some mods to my current setup. Primarily the stock steering arm need to be ground down a bit to get it to fit on the spindle, also my baer caliper bracket needed some grinding too to fit, see pics. I see Luke has a steering arm and caliper bracket available now that I might want to go with soon.
After driving it for a few days, the spindle has certainly improved my ride quality and handling. I need to get it aligned and test it out a bit more but my first impressions of it are it is a very solid, well thought out, well made spindle. Certainly a welcome addition to the A Body suspension marketplace.
Thanks Luke,
Corey Vandiver
