These are Speedtech (ATS) Spindles which have, I believe, a one inch drop or more drop. I'm planning on the Speedtech Sub myself since I have all their stuff for the front now and it works absolutely amazing. I just want to get a bigger tire under there at some point. Just wondering if I could get by for now with a rack in order to stuff a larger tire under it.
the steering that are used with the Unisteer Rack are very short, and do provide room for wheels. my Nova has 18x9.5 with 6.5 BS wheels and no issues, even with the drop which by the way is 7/8 of an inch ove the stock spindle.
