With 17" wheels what backspacing can be used on both the std and dropped?

with 17x8" wheels you will be limited to about a 5-1/2" backspace on the non drop spindle and about on the 2" drop spindle backspace is limited to about 3-3/4"

I cant wait to hear what the price is on this, competition = good for the consumer!

I am working very hard to finalize pricing I should have it figured out early this week. and yes competition is good for the consumer

On the proposed G-body/S-Series spindles, is there any chance of making them so either a Blazer dual piston caliper setup or the C5 parts could be used? The Blazer DP calipers are a nice upgrade over the stock calipers without being too cost prohibitive.

In any event, you have an awesome product.

Later, Doug

looks like a great product. what other platforms are you working on? any 2nd gen camaro spindles comin in the future?

What type of structural tests has your engineer performed?

Doug on the G body spindle were making we are planning on making them work in conjunction with our C5/C6 hubs and brackets. I will look into possibly making brackets to adapt the blazer dp calipers. Thanks for your interest.

We are working on 65-70 mustang spindles as well as 2nd gen F body spindles and some mopar Items as well.

What type of structural tests has your engineer performed?

Carl we are running stress and fatigue analysis as well as FEA and we are running it thru Solidworks simulation analysis software. I decided to add some extra strength to the uprights to extend the fatigue life as we are doubling what would be considered the input load for this spindle. I want to have the finest engineered spindle available and am working really hard to finalize everything and have these available for sale very soon.

i would be interested in a 65 mustang/falcon spindle. With a shorter steering arm. This would solve everyones problem with after market rack and pinion kits. make sure the spindle is rear steer. i have a wilwood kit for my stock spindle and would like to keep that option.

[bochnak]

Curious on pricing....let us know!

[MarkM66]

It's about time!

Make them availible, and they'll sell like hot cakes.

[L & H Kustoms]

Ok I know everyone is wanting to know the price

$750 per pair for the spindles. I am still working on pricing for the hubs caliper brackets and steering arms.

I am offering a group purchase for Pro-Touring.com members save 10%
We will begin shipping these the week after SEMA Nov.9-13

We are working on the mustang spindle. It will be made to work with the factory steering as well as R&P steering. The steering arm will be a bolt on arm and we will be offering a stock length arm as well as a shorter arm for R&P

awesome, thats perfect. What is the weight savings? Are you thinking the geometry would be the same as stock.

[L & H Kustoms]

For those who would like some technical data about our spindles


Our recommended alignment specs are
Camber- 0.25-0.5 -
Caster- 4.0-5.5 +
Toe- 1/16" toe in

The upper ball joint is raised 1.5" over the stock spindle
the king ping inclination is 8 deg
the steering arm location points are in the stock location so that you may use factory parts and we are working on a revised geometry steering arm to correct the bumpsteer. We are tooling for the A body first and then we will be working on one for the X,F body
initial tests for the chevelle arm show bumpsteer to be reduced to fifty one thousands of an inch thru the travel from full droop to full compression. I am working at trying to reduce that further.
If using our spindle on an A body you must use a shorter upper A arm to prevent ball joint bind

Our spindle is machined from billet 6061 T6511 and they are made here in the USA Clackamas Oregon actually

Luke, will C4-5 brakes bolt directly to your hubs? I was planning on getting the ATS spindles so I could run the KORE 3 ATS kit, would that kit bolt up to your hubs also?

Great looking product by the way, thanks for all the info!

[Kenova]

Just out of curiosity, is there a weight savings when compared to similar steel spindles? I realize it won't be a big deal when compared to the other features, just wondering.

Jarcaines thanks yes the C5/C6 brakes will bolt directly to our hubs and caliper brackets and yes the Kore3 kit AFX kit will work directly with our spindles, hubs and brackets.

A tall steel drop spindle weighs 9.5lbs and our spindle weighs 4.9lbs

The weight savings for our A,F,X body tall spindle weighs 4.9lbs and a tall steel spindle weighs 9.5lbs. The geometry will not be stock but cant give away to many details yet. i'm unsure of the weight savings on the mustang spindle yet. But I put up those numbers to give you a comparison
