Default what spindle for high performance street 69 camaro?

I am about to get a quote from Speed tech for their complete front end. If i buy the same front end from Jegs, they include spindles in the package. I am building a high horse power 69 Camaro that I want to handle well on the street and I believe I will be running some where around 18x9 in the front. I do not know too much about spindles so any advice would help.

thank you

just talk to speedtech directly and tell them you want what they price their stuff on jegs for. that way you can get expert advice from the manufacturer rather than a salesperson sitting in front of a computer who probably is not well versed in subframes etc. just my 2cents

i always tell people it depends on what your doing with the car or what you expect to do with it in the future, the AFX spindle is the best option available, BUT if it is a street only car then you may want to save some money, use the stock spindle, or a stock replacement and run the upper control arm in the Gmod position.(which is built into the sub frame) if you are looking for the other benifets of the spindle like the corvette hubs and bolt on C5 brakes along with the revised steering arm location to help improve the steering geomety then the AFX spindle is the answer.

I have the AFX spindles and they are as high in quality in the automotive aftermarket as I have seen.
