Drop Spindles, Photos Enclosed, Any One Running These?
I decided to run drop spindles & adjustable shocks instead of coilovers, so this will be my winter project, curious if any one else is using these on the street.

No, but I know they are $3000 new! Better make sure they are perfect if you're buying used! I have a set of the drag spindles on the way. I'm sure LG made these well, especially considering how over priced the kits are..

I purchased new, did not pay retail, I agree they are expensive, but I found a vendor that had an excellent price.

. LG has the monopoly on these products, only ones to produce them from what Ive seen, so it is what it is. Im glad I got my hands on them at around half price though thats for sure.

Yes, I was one of the 20 to get them at that price, it helps, but look at what they are. Pieces of aluminum designed after GM's already produced design. Way, way, way overpriced even on the sale I got them for IMO. OP is talking about the "drop spindles". Even more pricey .

They look like really nice pieces.
Considering the design time + machining time on them, I would say that's actually a decent price. Keep in mind that these are billet where as stock are probably pressure cast and then certain areas are machined. Not to mention the limited quantity runs on these compared to the thousands that GM had made.

Thanks, I run 19" F & R so should not be any issues with those.

Very cool, I stand corrected, I thought they were billet.
Extrusion for these pieces is awesome, I wonder how much the tooling costs.
I'll have to check their website for more info regarding the spherical bearing and taper pin instead of the ball joint.
Nice piece of engineering. Thanks for the video!
