In their last group purchase for $899 (which I wish I'd jumped on), LG mentioned something about "Don't buy knockoffs"... so now I'm curious, who else makes an aftermarket spindle to fit a 15" wheel on a C6? I'd like to get a set closer to that $899 price....

DOUG @ ECS

We were the originators and discontinued it because we simply do not have enough hours in the day. So technically they are the "knock off"...

Farks Supercars make a full brake and lower control arm assembly that's very nice.

LS7 BUD

G-Force Engineering was gonna make them but LG put a stop to it...

I heard g force was making some, how'd lg shut that down?

monsta01

G-Force makes some good parts. I'm familiar with them from my GTO modding.

LS7 BUD

Apparently LG sells some G-Force stuff and they threaten to stop selling their product if they made them... I was part of the G-Force group buy that was gonna get them into production.... Then LG put out that group but so G-Force said forget it...

Unreal

G force needed 10+ kits to get started, LG did a group buy and took the wind out of their sales.

The LG parts are extremely nice. I'm sure you can find a set if you look around. I was just talking to someone yesterday that got a set on the GB that may want to sell them.

I would wait for the next sale or group buy, or keep an eye out. Or just buy them. They are nice pieces.

Want to put me in touch w/ that person? Shoot me a PM if you can share their contact info

Unless you're planning to launch off a trans brake or dump the clutch at 5000RPM (or higher), why not just go with the same setup I have which is 17x11 ZR1 rims and either 315/35/17 or 335/35/17 Hoosier drag radials?

I briefly thought about installing the spindles but after realizing that I have as good (or better) 60ft times than guys who do leave off a trans brake I didn't see the point.

The 60ft shown in my avatar was a 1.35 leaving at 1900RPM with 335/35/17 tires and my best with the 315/35/17 was 1.36.

when I asked LG about another group buy. They said there would never be another one.

turbotuner20v

I run 17x11 weld rts now with m&h 325/45-17. I'm not really looking for 60ft, more like 60mph roll. My ~900+whp setup hooks ok now, but I'd like to make sure it continues to do so up to ~1100 and starting from 2nd with zr1 ratios

LS7 BUD

LG has already said they most likely will never be another group buy on the drag spindles but they are doing a sale this winter...

BLWN1

I'd buy a spare set at the same price..

chriswood

It's unfortunate they need such a huge markup. I also am interested at a sub 1k price. Ever consider having the stock spindles shortened?

Unreal

I doubt there is any way that would work.

Jeffro_510

Could always drop down to a 16" wheel, with base brakes, there is minimal grinding needed

Mookster

Can 17s clear over stock brakes and what tires could one run on 17s and would they be better than running Mickey ET IIs in 18 size?

Unreal

Yes 17s go right on. Better for track? Roll racing? What? The 335 hoosiers on a 17x11 hook well at the drag strip. I found for street use, the 18s are pretty dang good and the 15s aren't much better if any better at all at normal pressures.

Mookster

Sup Mang?

Mainly for roll racing, i wonder how well ET IIs hook on the street at lower pressure?

Unreal

They hook decent. None of the tires hook 1000+, but 25psi vs 25psi they are about the same. I didn't notice more traction until the 15s got to 18-19psi but then they get really wobbly on the street. So for a specific race that is fine, for rolling around all the time, not so much.
