Default Ats tall spindle and Ridetech Strong Arms

I'm using the ride tech drop spindles which are tall and similar to the ATS.

You have asked 2 questions Ridetech arms or Speedtech arms? I will ask if your considering the ATS Spindle why would you not purchase the Speedtech arms as well?

this car has the Speedtech A body Track time package plus the Chicane coilo over conversion and ATS Spindles. It has been doing VERY well at GoodGuys and Optima. it has 315 all around no mini tub modified inner front frender wells and outer lips but

Actually there is almost NOTHING similar between the Ridetech drop spindle and the ATS Spindle.

Ridetech
2" drop
Steering arm not relocated
uses stock steering arm
uses taper bearings
forged steel

ATS
1" drop (generally you don't need 2" of drop to get the ride height )
Steering arm relocated
available custom steering arm to help with bump and ackerman
uses Corvette C7 SKF bearing pack
Forged 7075 Aluminum (less weight)

they do both fit though

The reason for the Ats spindle is i am using zo6 brakes and dont want to have all the extra brackets and hubs associated with putting the zo6 brakes on to ridetech spindle.I just want a clean install so if the spindle works just as well on ridetech arms then i would rather do that.
