AFX Spindles - SOLD OUT.

[Marcus SC&C]

Rick, our Stage 1 with the adj. arms and tall UBJs aren`t 1" tall they`re closer to half that. Combined with our variation of the G mod the Stage 1 (or 2) is just slightly less aggressive than the ATS tall spindles alone. Better or worse? Once you get into a nice negative camber curve and an RC height 2"-3" *above* the ground it`s more splitting hairs and what works for each individual cars springs/dampening rates,tires/air pressure,anti roll bar rates etc. than what`s "better or worse". Of course the improved geometry is only part of the AFX spindles appeal. One thing`s for sure though muscle cars have never had it as good as they do today! Mark SC&C

That's what I get for relying on my memory, Mark

Thanks for the insights. Sure do like to stare at the stage 1 kit installed while I wait for my engine!!

Hey Tyler,

How much are the bearing Corvette bearing pack's going for these days?

The last time I checked, they were going for $430 per bearing pack. That has to hurt.

12 sets of A body left guys. ;)

$161 at autozone.

$161 at autozone.

And what product do you get in the box for $161 ?? I doubt it is a Delphi/Timken for $161.......

There is a big difference between manufacturers when it come to OE quality or better. So the question is do I skimp, or do I get the quality that I expect ??

Id be interested to see what is offered for $161. If it is a Delphi/Timken.... they would most likely be seconds.

[chicane67]

BIG difference between C4 and C5/6........ considering that the C4 has been around since what, '84 ??

I just stumbled across a gm dealer/warehouse on the web listing the c5 bearing packs for 299.42

Anyone seen lower yet for original GM Parts?

If you buy them from ATS for just $350ea. they come with an awesome spindle attached to them.

Very true....But he was just asking for a good price on C5 bearing packs.

LOL I wish ! The spindles dont come with hubs...

[TitoJones]

Yes they do. The pricing on them is $695 per pair with brand new GM C5 Corvette hubs installed. That works out to $347.50 per spindle with a hub installed, which is less than a GM dealer will sell you 1 hub!

[Bill Howell]

The C-5 brakes mount up to the spindles much better than they do to the hub only option also.
This is without a doubt the best money I have spent on my malibu, period. While it is certainly not a cheap fix, you certainly get your money's worth and I guarantee you will not be unhappy with the results.

Damn I always thought it was for the spindles only...

How much for just the spindles W/0 hubs ?

[Rick Dorion]

Is the 3rd batch available?

[Taylor1969]

I spoke with Tyler on Thursday... He said they should have them soon - hopefully by the end of the month. I plan to get a set and all new front suspension MOOG pieces as well

You won't be able to buy them separate and save any money.

[rohrt]

I guess I thought that price was w/out hubs also. I would be much more inclined to buy the spindles w/out the hubs. All about purchasing parts under the radar. But then you still have to deal with the Metric bolts.

[TitoJones]

You can buy a pair of our AFX spindles with no hubs for $445 BUT----
You MUST send us your hubs for installation, no exceptions. Proper install requires our fixtures and special tools, so you will not get a pair with out the hubs installed before shipping.

Just a FYI- We have only had 2 people send in hubs, and they both ended up going used after pricing the GM ones out. The Autozone bearing packs are not of the same quality that you will get from GM, we have closely looked at both and decided to go directly to Delphi for our hub needs. We purchase so many at a time that we get them cheaper than GM dealers do, and often get calls from them to purchase our hubs.
