i'm sure the price will be equally massive and i refuse to run an aluminum spindle on the street, billet or not. so, unless you have changed the design from the original massive aluminum piece that you posted previously, i'm not in the least interested. BTW, this thread is not about you and technically you are not supposed to advertise your wares in the tech forum. Degins is in here because he was requested by the people of this forum to develop an affordable drop spindle for our cars, and he he is only giving us an update on that front. sorry but i'm less likely to buy something from someone like you than i am from Degins. if you want to hawk your own drop spindle then start your own thread, please. not trying to be an ass about it but having competing vendors posting in a thread about another vendor's product just seems low and cheap too me.
yeah I agree, I love competition. That is the reason i wake up every morning and work my ass off 7 days a week.
I do understand that there is no real distinction in the industry between a drop spindle and a performance drop spindle yet. We are going to make that distinction and make it a very clear one. The main reason ours will be a "performance drop" is the drastic gains in suspension geometry. We have delayed the release of our full arm kit because this geometry gain is so much that it might make the full kit not worth the money!
the strength is another reason why its a performance spindle. The way its designed and the material used creates a far superior platform to go pound on at the track. It will not a heavy unit either, the strength to weight ration is much better then we originally planned. There is a reason why we have many years in R&D.
“1. How much drop is needed (or wanted)? How much is too much (will create interference at the lower control arm)?”
“2. I intend to preform a second tie rod mounting point on the steering arm at a point about 1.5" up the steering arm for R&P applications. How thick should the mount be (In the direction of the tapered hole)? What ball joint stud taper should be standard on this second mount (top and bottom diameter and depth of the hole)? Are there going to be tie rods available that are correct for the second mount? What size threads are used on outer tie rods for the various R&P systems?”
Please don’t question any of our design or work if you are asking questions like this, these questions are of a armature level. My business partner and engineer can recite the entire chassis of these classis mustangs by heart of where the points are in all three axis (x, y, and z). We use one of the best computer programs to design our products and full chassis (CATIA).
Good luck to you, I cant give away any more info because I don’t want people trying to copy our products just yet.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I just hope that he does not kill anyone with his "design". BTW he is not even close to having a product on the market. IN fact he has contacted my partner with questions. His name is LOUIE DIETZ. We have several prototypes done and already in real world testing. Your bashing of me only adds evidence to the fact that you dont know what your talking about.
go over to cornercarvers.com to see how great of a "designer" and "suspension engineer" he really is.
As i said before, Good luck
Jason
wow. this got out of hand real fast. Jason, I personally havent looked into your spindle/suspesion parts, but from just looking at this thread, you should probably just start your own thread, instead of fighting/arguing over design/components in someone elses thread. Personally, right now it just looks like your trying to steal potential customers from another seller. You would be better off starting your own thread about your parts, and it could have avoided this fight. The thread has gotten way off topic, and opened a can of worms. Now, if your parts are better/cheaper/stronger, then customers will gravitate to your products. But jumping on a thread doesnt. I wish both of you luck and a professional turn out to this spindle "market"
on a side note, discbrakeswap.com is not valid? whats the new site/whats the deal?
Degins, i apologize for my part in this thread and i hope i didn't upset you but this guy just really rubbed me the wrong way and then took it even further by downright putting down your parts. again, sorry, i'm glad you are above this guys level. good for you
You would be able to use the KH calipers and brackets if you use 70-73 type bearings and rotors.
Geting back on topic:
Would the 70 rotor work with the K/H calipers ? The 70 rotor is 11.29" and my shop manual shows the diameter for the 67 rotors being 11.375" I suppose .085" isn't that big of a difference. For some reason I thought I remembered the 67 diameter being like 11.02". Good thing I looked it up. Should be close enough.
rusty, you make a good point and that made me think of something else dimensionally. the diameter of the rotor is effectively same between a 67 and a 70 so that's fine but the thickness of the rotors is different as well, it's probably within acceptable ranges but the 67 rotor is .81 thick and the 70 rotor is thicker at .94 and that is right around 1/8" difference in thickness, i don't know if the 70 rotor will fit on a 67 spindle with the K/H calipers assuming you install new pads, it could very well fit just fine but it might be a little bit tight. in any case, the 67 rotors should work on the 70 spindles by changing the wheel bearings and the bearing races to the 70 parts, if the clearances are too tight for the 70 rotors.
Thanks guys, I think I did misspeak. I should have said that you can use the 65-67 type KH bracket, caliper, and rotors on 70-73 drum spindles, if you use 70-73 type bearings.
BTW, I completed one side's bracket modification to use 99-2002 type 2 piston PBR calipers with Granada type spindles and rotors. I'll post pictures later.
