LG Motorsports Spindle Comparison, which is right for me?
Many have asked what is the difference in your spindles and what will it do for me?
We offer two different spindles for C5-current Corvette's. We have a drop spindle and a drag spindle. Depending on the application and fitment, which is going to be right for you.
From Left to Right: Stock, Drop, Drag
Drop Spindles
Some of you might have lowered your car using aftermarket bolts in the past and wondered why the cars rode so bad? Well shock travel, especially bump, is a problem with the Corvette and lowering it to much will cause no travel and a hard ride. Using the spindles to start with, can aid in providing more shock travel for your OEM shocks or even some aftermarket coil over kits. Our spindles were designed by and for racers and the geometry is setup to provide the most from your Corvette on track yet able to be driven on the street without any issues.

Drag Spindles
Have a lot of HP but can't seem to get your 18" or 19" wheel and tire package to hook? That is exactly why we have our billet drag spindles, and conversion kits. HP for street cars is now well exceeding 1000 rwhp and they need a way to get that power to the ground. One of the main ways of doing so is with a solid 15" drag setup with a nice soft, sticky tire.

(C6 spindles used in pictures, same holds true for C5 units, as well as C7 but they use a completely different spindle).
