I don't like my tall spindles so im losing them along with the tubular upper a -arms and am looking at going back to stock disc. I see a lot of drop spindle kits cheap.What is the advantage of dropped spindles? My headers are already scraping the ground with these tall spindles. Should i go dropped or stock?who has the best deal on stock spindles? I assume i need new calipers and brackets also?

the tall spindles i think are about a 1" drop compared to the stock spindles, so by putting stock spindles back on your ride height will go up by that much.
then, if you want to drop it back to where it is now, either chop your springs or get lowering springs..

Please consider installing "roundy-round" car adjustable cans and cheap stiff coil springs!

I wish that I did, what w/ my cut 5536 MOOG's that are in my 1st Gen. Camaro car now along w/ my 496!

My car has NEVER sat as low up front, but it has fine ground clearance and to me it's very stiff just trying to push a front fender down is all.

what's the spring rate of the 5536 spring?
i want to put some super stiff springs in my 86 Monte SS- something in the range of the cut 6041's that were in my Nova. they rode pretty nice, considering the estimated 700-750 pound rating as they were installed..

I don't want it low in the front. the drop from the tall spindles along with smallish front tires makes my headers hit over bumps and tires are rubbing.Not to mention the ridiculously wide turning radius. I'm looking for the most economical way to a stock disc setup. Summit has a lower conversion kit for about 450 which is basically a disc conversion kit minus booster and prop valve which i have anyway. I see the 2 inch drop kits that are around the same price.Just wondering if that is going to put me down to the height i am now.

if you were to just get stiffer springs than you have now, then you can get away with the lower ride height.
the lowest point on my Nova was the one header tube that was a little over 4" off the ground- and it never hit anything with those 6041's in the front. yeah, 700# springs are kinda stiff- 3 people on the hood and the car didn't squat at all- but it rode like any newer car i've ever been in and the handling was incredible. i didn't use any expensive shocks, either- they were some $20 cheapie gas shocks from NAPA.

i was going to go with a taller spring but its the turning radius which is inherent of the tall spindles that really bothers me.

Ok i just bought this off Ebay.

I'll pick up some rotors and bearings locally and i should be in business.:yes:
It says you can use 'large single piston calipers as found on 68-72 Chevelle 68/69 Camaro, 70-81 Camaro etc.'
I currently have an 81 f body setup so i should be good on the calipers and hoses. Anybody know if my current rotors will work or are they different?

Oh yeah tie rods too.

They're different.

i was talking about going with the shorter/stiffer springs with the stock spindles. you can really get away with a lot lower ride height if the suspension doesn't give very much, and with modern tires and shocks, the ride is pretty good.

5536's start at 488 pounds and I figure after I clock cut them to stock, then cut another coil off the bottoms, probably 525 pounds?
