early classic drop Spindles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Chevy Fleetside** · 05-01-2015, 12:41 PM

Has anyone used these. I was thinking of just getting these since I have all of the GM brakes. They said they take all the stock parts.
Here is the description :

Drop Spindles achieve their lowered stance by relocating the spindle pin higher in the casting, which in turn lowers the vehicle by an equal amount. The stock spring and shock absorber travel remain untouched, leaving the factory suspension geometry intact. Gone are the harsh ride and alignment problems common with other forms of lowering.
Early Classic Drop Spindles are the original '60-'72 Drop Spindles, and are machined to accept your original tie rods and ball joints (Disc Brakes required). While others offer later model parts that require changing your suspension components in order for them to fit, every Early Classic Spindle is designed for your specific year and model of truck.
Early Classic Drop Spindles are engineered to lower your Truck 2½", allowing the maximum amount of front wheel backspacing on the market.

I know they have been around for a long time. Was just wondering if anyone used these. I bought a panhard bar from them back in 2002 ish and it is still in the box.

**lolife99** · 05-01-2015, 01:51 PM

I've used them along with a ton of board members on here.
They are my first choice for 67-72 suspension parts.
Great customer service.

Are you trying to sell the panhard bar?

chevy_mike · 05-01-2015, 02:40 PM

There is likely more ECE parts in use then anyone else out there. I bought parts from them back in '97 time frame. They don't have big flashy ads in the mags but been the leader for the '60-'72 trucks because of word of mouth.

No.. I plan on putting it on my truck someday maybe. I think back then it was like $69.
If I go this route I will definitely order from them.
Thanks for the feedback.
