Re: Best deal on front lowering spindles

I don't think it's ever been proven how much the CPP Modular spindles move the wheels in.
Never could get an answer to this question when CPP had a Vendor on here.

Plus,... moved in compared to what?
1) drum brakes?
2) stock disc brakes? (which we know are 3/4" wider than drum brakes)
3) other manufacturer's drop spindles?

Just saying,... don't count on the 3/4" measurement you mentioned in your post.

I just put a set on my 67, they moved my wheels in 1 1/8 inches per side from regular drop spindles. My track width went from 77 inches (outside of tire to outside of tire) to 74 3/4. CPP says they are 2 inch drop spindle it is close to 2 1/2 drop in reality.
