As I read through the threads I see everyone has a drop involved when swapping spimdles. Is there any way around, by using a certain cars spindles, to get away rom any drop. I am running 15's with 235-60R15's and a drop by cutting springs makes the tires grab the fenders during turning. I have more stock front springs if I go with the spindle swap but just want to know what I am in for.
At least what iare the minimal drop spindles if there are non which cause no drop.
IF I REMEMBER RIGHT THE SPINDLES FROM A 77-79 T-BIRD MAINTAIN ABOUT THE STOCK RIDE HEIGHT. HOPE THIS HELPS TOM
You could go with bolt on disc brake kit that bolts to your original spindles.
the Granada spindles that many use can be set up for drop or no drop depending on the size of the tappered hole that has to be reamed out to fit the 57 ball joint. the larger the hole, the more it drops onto the stock ball joint and the closer to original ride height. Call dave at drop n stop, he can tell you how close they can actually get it to original height with the granada spindles.
There was a guy on ebay a while back that sold a bolt on bracket kit for your spindles, then you could buy s-10 calipers and mustang rotors at the parts store. I don't think I still have the listing, I'll re post it if I find it. Mark
