To GULSTRAND OR NOT TO GULSTRAND??

Thanks for the clarification Carl. What is the advantage of the ATS AFX spindle?

Thanks,

It adds a similar improvement to the front geometry as the Guldstrand mod. Since you read over 5 hours of G mod info on this site, I think you have a pretty good grasp of what the mod does for the car, but for those who do not this is what it all boils down to-

The F body front suspension lacks a good negative camber curve. The fixes for this shortcoming is a relocation of the upper control arm attachment point on the frame (G-mod) or putting on a taller spindle. We made a taller spindle to help improve the car's handling characteristics. When we were finished engineering and testing the geometry of our AFX spindle we found that on an otherwise completely stock frame, we could get more negative camber gain than either a G-modded vehicle or a DSE weld in coil over kit. When we started adding tubular control arms and bumpsteer adjustable outer tie rod ends, we recorded geometry data that equaled- and in certain areas- surpassed $6700 aftermarket subframes. All of this in a simple bolt on spindle.
