C4 Drop Spindles
 
I don't know if any one makes drop spindles for C4 cars or if they did if they are still around?
I have a 91 ZR1 I would like to lower.
Thanks

I understand what a "drop spindle" is and I assumed the OP does also, thought the a short and direct answer should be understood by the OP and I doubt it offended him!

I think this is the response Space was referring to...

Not sure why the hostility for a legitimate question.

If your going to build a low rider then start with an impala ...

Space387 11-14-2017 12:57 PM

There is a very good reason to lower the spindle verse just lower the spring mount point, you maintain suspension geometry if done right. Now we never heard from the OP how MUCH he wants to lower his car.

Let's all just take a breather and see how much he wants to ruin... ahem, lower his Z before jumping down his throat.

pologreen1 11-14-2017 01:05 PM

I guess I am just curious what the drop rate would be.

How low do you plan to go?

Many people claim their C4 is low enough or even too low factory for their taste.

There are some that lower different ways, and some naturally get lowered based on performance replacement springs.

Unless this is going to be parked for car shows... a slammed c4 will slam in to everything.

if you want crazy low stuff or lower than you see in a typical lowered c4 air bags would be the answer IMO.

vetteLT193 11-14-2017 01:31 PM

There is a 40 dollar or so kit available that includes the new front suspension wedges and bolts for the rear to drop an inch and a half. That's about as low as you can go without running into real issues.

383vett 11-14-2017 02:47 PM

Dropped spindles are available for C5, C6 and C7 Corvettes to maintain proper suspension geometry on a lowered car. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...p-spindle.html
The op was no doubt thinking among those lines.

Wow I never expected to see such negative responses pattern day trader you sir are a classic Douchebag it is my car and I will do with it as I please.

For the rest thank you for the information, I have had a bunch of C4 Corvettes and have lowered every one of them I am a competitive autocrosser and lowering helps make them fast I thought since the ZR1 is a bit of a special car I would try to lower it the right way.
Thanks
Dan

Lol ... Sounds like your low rider project isn't going to happen ....

cv67 11-14-2017 07:15 PM

Lowering one is not so hard lots do it here, the 4x4 stance they have could use a little help just dont go overboard.
Get a good 4 wheel alignment..being an autocrosser you probably already know that.
