Where is a good place to buy 2 or 3" drop spindles for a 69 Camaro?

Thanks for any help,

Kurt

Not sure if the new ones from Fatman are out yet, but they look like they'll be a nice piece... like a tall spindle with 2" drop and none of the drawbacks with bumpsteer and turning radius.

Listed here for $299.

Derek,

Thanks for the reply. I was going to check that place out tonite when I got a chance but looks like they have what I`m looking for.

Thanks alot,

Kurt

ATS also has a nice aluminum dropped spindle. I think it's a 1.4" drop. Contact Tyler at: www.t56kit.com

Fatman is waiting for production to start so he does not have them ready yet.Ats looks like they only go 7/8 drop.

Any other ideas? Someone must make drop spindles for a 69 Camaro.

Any help would be great,

Thanks, Kurt

There are a few drawbacks with dropspindles that you should be aware of:

Scott,

I called Global West yesterday and who ever answered the phone told me they don`t offer drop spindles, just control arms.
Then, after calling about 25 different vendors I was looking at Global West`s website and saw they offer the 2"drop spindles. I called them back up again and the person on the phone told me they might be able to make some for me but the dude that I should talk to was out to lunch.
Not sure whats up with that but I`ll call back again and see what they have to say again.

Thanks Scott

Kurt

Are you wanting to run air bags or something?

You can lower your '69 with the correct, or cut springs just fine.
