good front shocks for drop spindles
If there is a thread I missed lemme know as I did try searching
Putting in a CPP drop spindle/ Disc conversion for my 64. I currently have CPP front shocks that I installed when I put the drop coils in - these are horrible (at least my opinion) and wondered what others were running - Id like a stiffer/performance shock if possible will be 2.5 inch drop spindle - 3" drop coils thanks! |

Re: good front shocks for drop spindles
I've used the Doetsch Nitro shocks and they were great. Try No Limit. They're site Vendors and I know they carry them.

Re: good front shocks for drop spindles
They make a C10 replacement that's OE dimensions. Hotchkis also offers them in a 'tuned' shock kit.

Re: good front shocks for drop spindles
Typically just the amount of the spring drop or less needs to be compensated for. Spindles won't change shock travel dimensions.
