I've been looking for some lowering spindles for days now, reading several posts. I've read posts on problems I definately don't want, i.e. BellTech spindles with rally wheels or 15 inch wheels won't fit with more than about a 3" offset and or grinding off some of the brake caliper. And or possible scraping of the lowr control arms.

I had planned on some 15x8 ralley wheels, 2.5 or 3" drop spindle (What brand) and maybe a one coil cut or maybe heat and shrink the spring by the amount of a half coil cut. Keep in mind I have a L6 so the aftermarket lowering springs may be more spring than I already have.

Can we have a sound off of problems with the the various brands of spindles? Hope this starts enough of a product manufacture's interest in sponsering me some new spindles, but I don't think that will happen

DJM
Spring Tech
Western Suspension
BellTech
McCraughy's
Summit Brand

Or any other known brands
