Looks like they use a stock F-Body spindle and use a custom steering arm for the R&P. Our spindle will be fine as it's a direct replacement for the stock unit.

I spoke with SRC just to triple check and they said as long as the spindles work with OEM arms they will work on thier stuff. That was only half the battle as i also wanted to make sure they will work with the brakes, which everyone so far says they do.....so hopefully they will

Wilwood listed they only guarantee hiedts drop spindals will fit and say they should fit with others. I used hiedts with the 14" wilwood kit and they fit perfect. I know you bought but letting people know. Todd

so i finally got around to installing the spindles and i can spin the castle nut to just barely finger tight while not being so low on the ball joint that the cotter pin won't be within the nut.

Has anyone ever had to add washers/shims/etc to the ball joint to be able to get the appropriate torque on the castle nut while still being able to have the cotter pin nested inside the nut? I am thinking 1-2 possibly 3 flat washers should do the trick but just wanted outside opinions as well.
