[BigChevyFTW]

has any of you guys used this spindle?http://www.truckshop.com/product.php?productid=22000

i am picking up the BMR level 3 handling package for my 70 chevelle and i cant see spending over 1200 bucks for ats spindles that will make the brakes (C5 or C6 vette)lock up at will) BMR said i can even used 2nd gen camaro tall spindles but i wouldnt mind the 2 inch drop from these let me know what you guys think

That spindle is no where near the quality of the ATS spindle, which uses bearings in its hubs. That spindle you showed is just the old style spindle that is dropped. You can even use stock GM C5 or C6 spindles instead of the ATS spindles if you want to save some dollars. The ATS spindle is designed after the GM C5 or C6 spindle. The ATS spindles just gives you a 1" or so drop. Again, right along the linesn of saving money, the GM spindles uses all the same components you would use for the ATS spindle.

No it is not, you couldn't use a c5 spindle without a lot of work.

Not the same at all. They bear a similar resemblance to the C5/C6 spindles because they are aluminum and use the integrated bearing pack but other than that and the caliper bolt spacing they are completely different. The C5 spindle will not work on a subframe with factory pickup points.

Like Jeff said the hub and caliper mounting are th same as C5 thats where it ends, a Corvette spindle will NOT work.

When using the ATS spindle keep in mind that the brakes are a little cheaper as they do not have to include a hub.

These are a step between the B-body spindle and the ultimate, the ATS spindle. You get a tall spindle, but without all the problems associated with the B-Body swap.
