      They already know about it. They`re aiming their product at folks who want a quick and simple mod to lower the car and improve the handling some without doing lots of other mods. They should be just fine for that. If they were shooting for the hardcore crowd it wouldn`t be a drop spindle. ;) Marcus SC&C

      Actually from the measurements I've taken off my car (65 LeMans) and the ride height that I want, I am going to need a drop spindle.

      2 inches might be a little much, 1.5 would be better. The worst part of a stock spindle that I can see is the pin height. Everything else I could feasibly work around but you can't get around the pin height.

      Our spindle is aimed at a similar market. We also require no mods to the car for a successful installation. While our main focus is more to improve the terrible factory geoemtry without the need for aftermarket control arms, ours will also lower the car slightly. We have found that a 2" drop causes more clearence issues than it solves, and there are much better ways to lower the car than raising the king pin height. We had to lower our spindle to fit the C6 Corvette bearing pack, but we managed to keep it under 1".

      Here is a spy shot of the spindle:
