LG Motorsports Billet Drop Spindle --The Ultimate in Corvette suspension--
-- The LG Motorsports Billet Drop Spindle --
No other billet spindle has won more pro and regional races on a Corvette than the LG Motorsports billet drops! Formed from a solid extruded section of high strength 6061 aluminum alloy. This set of four spindles will allow you to lower the ride height of your Corvette 1 full inch over stock while retaining the full shock travel and correct suspension geometry.
As some of you have already found out, when you try and 'slam' a Corvette with the stock suspension you quickly run out of shock travel on bump, and the car rides horrible since there is no more shock travel or shock working for you.
Now don't think that this is all that they are good for, you guys that are serious about tracking your car, not only are you going to gain some shock travel with the car but you are going to get a much more robust mount for the wheel bearing and brake calipers. This means less deflection making the tire work for you and better braking and pad wear due to the ears not flexing. Camber gain and bump steer is also improved with these and of course a lower center of gravity.
- 1" lower ride height
- Improved handling
- Lowered center of gravity
- Improved strength for caliper mounts and wheel bearing mount
- Mono ball upper pivot point for improved steering feel
- Improved bump steer geometry
- Allows use of all stock components including parking brake
- Full shock travel
- Bolt on install
With our proven extrusion process we have been able to cut material loss and machine time down which also means pricing is almost 1/2 of what it once was just a few years ago.
A must for ZR1 and Magnetic ride cars that want to lower their cars and retain their adjustable suspension!

Gauging interest....
Would anyone be up for a very small qty. GP on these?
I make no promises as to the amount or sales price but checking to see if there is an interest.

One of the issues with a Corvette when lowering the car a radical difference from stock is that you can run out of shock bump travel and also put the arms in a much different curve area than where they run stock. By using the spindles to get the first 1" out of the way on dropping the car you effectively give yourself more room for the shock to move under bump conditions and also put the control arms back to a stock point so you can make more lowering adjustments from there.
If you had coil overs on the car, and were still running it close to stock, or slightly lowered and the shock still has room, no you are not changing anything geometry wise.
