These are very nice pieces to say the least. Its just a shame that since they were starting from scratch, that they couldn't adapt a bolt on style hub with sealed bearings to keep maintenance simpler. A style that comes to mind is the 98+ blazers. I just did that swap on my S10 since I needed rotors and bearings anyways. Got a free caliper upgrade at the same time!

I'll keep an eye on this anyways

I agree to some extent, however the sealed bearing design is an expensive design along with a substantial bearing replacement cost. Honestly, I doubt anyone here would be willing to spend $750 for a set of spindles. For example, the AFX spindles from ATS:

It would be a nice feature though but in the end it always comes down to cost. The Blazer spindles are nice though, I did a set of C6 ZO6 brakes on a Blazer a while back and it turned out nice:

Any updates on theese spindles, it's been awhile, and i'm starting to think this isn't going to happen. have the clearence issues been taken care of?

I'd call Mark and talk to him directly. I know there's been a lot of interest but how many guys will go through with it I do not know. I have brackets made for the setups I've shown but I don't know how Mark has tweaked the spindle design to handle the LS1/C4 brakes. I'll call him this week. I have a few more test shots to post later of those applications.

Ed

 

Hey Ed, Can you post up some pictures? Are the brackets tweaked to fit the revised spindles?

 

**waiting patiently**

Just curious, but RC's website shows mounts for a 4th gen rack as an option. Does anyone know if this rack is a direct it?...of course assuming the use of the k that comes with the mounts and these r&p spindles. This may not directly apply to the group purchase, but does tie in.

 

I need to call Mark and discuss where he is with the spindles and brackets I sent him for review. I'll post up when I have more info.

HELLO, I was the first person to receive the last Drop spindle from an OLD time race parts builder and it was a nightmare. I had to return the spindle to AJE for them to redesign it after waiting a year or so.
ED are these spindles any better than the AJE I sent you a few years ago?

 

I have a set of the AJE "revised" spindles, but they haven't been installed yet. Anyone have a comment on them?

 

Hey guys,

I'm looking into getting 2" drop spindles... Anybody know what's going on with this? I just read all 4 pages and this looks amazing..

I have Ed's LS1 brake kit (phenominal kit by the way).. Would the Racecraft spindles work with this kit?

Thanks,
-Marc

 

I believe Ed did match his setups with Racecrafts drop spindles. Look at the older Group Buy thread for Racecraft DS's.

 

yeah i followed that but i think it was not concluded... I'm guessing it is because on Racecraft's site it says compatible with aftermarket brakes including LS1 brakes.

I will call them and ask..

I'm gonna put those on and then cut my MOOG IROC springs in the rear to match the front (with a slight 0.5" rake)..
