Hi,

I'm just checking if there are any update on the availability of C3 drop spindles.
I believe Van Steel where looking at doing them some time ago but haven't heard anymore about them.

I just got a new Van Steels catalogue and there's nothing about drop spindles in it . BUT there's an 8 link rear end coming soon apparently.

I think the reason they're not readily available is that the ideal suspension geometry height sits the car quite low anyway. That means there's not much need for drop spindles , which are generally used to correct poor suspension geometry at a lower ride height. Why are you looking for them?

I have got a reduced amount of travel with the car lowered as much I have. I would like to get some more suspension travel while maintaining the current ride height.

Fair enough. Have you tried cutting bump stops and/or relocating shock mounts to increase travel?

If you would go coilovers, Global West has an extended traver lower A arm to get some travel back on lowered cars. I have them but haven’t built my chassis yet. Basically moves the lower coilovers mount down. Nice looking piece for sure.

Easy to space the front lower shock mount down, and cut down the bump stop a bit. On the rear can raise the upper shock mount a bit and again cut the bumpstop down.

Yes, but I figured if 1 or 2" drop spindles where available it would be a better way.
