Default options for spindles

Hey guys,

I have broken 2 spindles the last 2 times at the track - (1 hardened, 1 stock) and I'm getting sick of it.

The car in question is a 383 supercharged+nitrous 6spd LT4.

This is all done on Nitto 315's w/ 1.99 and 1.97 60'.

I am dying to get a hold of SpeedDemon's billet spindles but I call every week and they still don't have a set available :(

Do I have any options in the meantime? Its 40 degrees outside and I'm dying to get to the track!

Thanks in advance,

Madhu

Ask Limey over in the ZR1 section about this. He's had a lot of experience with spindles. :eek:

Thanks for the advice.

How/what does everyone have to launch a 6spd C4?

What is the best 60' for a 6spd LT4 w/ the IRS still in place.

I didn't realize it would be this much trouble to get this car to 60' foot without braking anything.

I am toying w/ putting a 9 inch with ladder bars and coilovers and be done with it but I know I will kill the handling of the car and it might be fun to go to Silver State Classic and try to run in the open class one day. :D
