To All:

I have read on a number of links that the dropped spindles are definitely NOT the way to go if you want to keep inference away from a wide 17 inch wheel. (I'm Running a 17X8)

Since at Least for now I want to embrace the, "Trans Am", Period of the Camaro, I now have a beautiful set of PSE TA II/Mini-Lites, for this car. (17X8 front with a 245-45-17, "Y" Rated. 17X12 Rear with a 315-35-17)

To run these, I need to run a Radial Mounted Front Brake System. It will be Wilwood 140-9803-DR. This is a configuration like the OEM Disk except a lot bigger.

I have GW Upper and Lower Control Arms, and the front sway Bar they offer. I CAN'T use the ATS Spindles.

I want to use a:

Tall OEM Spindle,
OR,
A Regular height Spindle with Tall Upper Ball Joint to help increase the Negative Camber I had with the ATS Spindle.

Logic tells me regular OEM Spindle and Tall Ball Joint. Is there a better choice?
==================================
Also,

I want to lower the front end 1-3 inches.

What are my best Choices? (Drop Springs?, Coil Over Conversion?, or what?)

I know this has been discussed in one form or another, however, this is somewhat of a different case as I can't use the C5 Brakes.

Please give me your thoughts as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience, and sorry about possibly beating the subject to death.

Best Regards,

Ty
