lowering spindles

Hey everyone,

I was going to buy some lower spindles threw summit and they tell me belltech was going to make some spindles but never did.

Do you know where I could get a pair. I know some people here have them.

Thanks

Belltech did/does make 2" drop splindles. I have heard that they have discontinued them though. Try ebay or even Jegs...and our classifides

I had bell techs on my old 86 Camaro. I know I got them either at Summit or Jegs. They were 2" or 2-1/2" drop and the car sat way too low to drive everyday. I've had better luck with Eibach lowering springs (the pro-kit, not the sportline series).

I must admit I had to and am still fine tuning the suspension with the drop spindles. I have yet to make a custom bump stop to the tire keeps from hitting the wheelwell. My situation could be different because of the rims I am using. I think the car looks great though.

I will take my two-tone over your TBI.

I forgot to look for that motor... have you had any luck?

Haven't touched it Tim... the fogs are bright enough for me to drive with one headlight I'm sure you know.

Actually still waiting for word from you on the motor, won't order the rebuild kits until then.
