Re: after market spindles
Nothing available that's designed to use a factory setup. If you want a pretty, lightweight aftermarket spindle, you're going to have to completely change the front suspension.
This is sort of what you need to do.

Re: after market spindles
racecraft makes a spindle, but its a 2" drop spindle. I dont know of any aftermarket stock height ones.
You could always smooth out the stock spindles and paint or powdercoat tham to make them look nicer.

Re: after market spindles
you can buy new ones from classic industries, but my god are they expensive. Check ebay and the junkyards. I have a set, but i think im keeping it.

Re: after market spindles
if it were me, id get the racecraft ones.
they are 2" drop which means you can run stock springs and have correct geometry, while getting a lower stance and looking great.
then you can have them powdercoated to match what you already have.
race craft FTW

. well they are actually rebuild, (sandblasted, cleaned, and painted) but basically look brand new.
