Introduction

Our drop spindles are brand new units, not re-manufactured old cores! CNC machined to exact tolerances.

These forged drop spindles feature 1/4" outwards offset. Clearance is usually not an issue.

These spindles are the first step to a brake system upgrade while giving you the built-in ability to lower your car an automatic 2 1/2" just by bolting them on.
