      Drop spindles using stock application discs?

      I want to drop my car, but I also want to keep my stock 1st gen/nova application Baer discs.

      Do you guys know if there's a drop spindle out that I can use my stock application brakes?

      Why do you want to drop it with a spindle? Using a spring to drop it is the better way to do it. That way you also get to keep your current brake set up.

      I have an unlimited budget. That bad part is I have already used it up.

      so the baer kit you have bolts onto the factory first gen spindles?

      cheapest and easiest is to do springs.... not familiar with 1st gen geometry... so i cant say if its better than spindles

      I disagree, almost every car on the road could benefit form a raised spindle pin height. This provides a CoG drop with adversely affecting the front suspension geometry which commonly happens with a spring only drop. A combination of a 2" and a 1" spring would provide much more favorable geometry results.

      Dennis, you are correct on a pure kinematic sense on most cars. The problem with drop spindles on a first gen is steering arm/outer tie rod clearance with wider rims. Also, a spring drop on a first gen improves geometry.

      Did you proof read your second sentance? Is it to read with or without? My guess is without.
