Default LG Drag spindles $899-priced to beat the copy-tition

C5 C6 and C7 Drag spindles $899 Complete with Ball joints installed ready to set new records!



Hi guys, Lou Gigliotti here, From LG Motorsports-- I am confident that we have the best drag spindle in the market and it has been proven to be the best choice for record breaking drag racers around the world

Having said that and the way things transpired in the last 24 hours,

We are offering to sell our Drag Spindles for $899 for C5-6 and C7 , the highest quality with precision machine work second to none.

Our LG Drag Spindles are just 5.2 pounds each, 60/61 T6 Aluminum heat treated, tested and proven in so many record breaking runs they are too many to count.


Our spindles are not only proven on cars that have broken the 6 second barrier but they held up perfectly. In fact they were EVEN on the cars whose companies copied our spindles. I don't know if we should be proud or mad.

Our spindles are well designed 6061 T6 heat treated Aluminum. (not a sloppy copy)

We have more than 50 car sets in stock ready to ship today and more on the way ready to set more records.

LG Motorsports has been in business for 30 years making some of the best performance parts in America for Corvettes. We learned from building Championship Corvette race cars.

SO, contact LG Motorsports and get the monster price. With or without our brake and A arm package.

You can use the savings to buy your 15" drag slicks!

C5 just needs to remove some material from the A arm and also from the C5 caliper.

C7 needs to use our chrome moly A arms to clear the 15" wheel along with our $499 brake package.

We apologize to any of you that purchased our spindles from one of our dealers but we felt the time was now to lower the price to the consumer by selling direct to you.

No worries, ---- LG Parts are often imitated, Never Duplicated



thanks

Fabricated in house A Arms when bought with Brake package is also $899 or if bought separate $999.

for the 15" package you will need the A arms and the GM brake conversion to clear the wheels.

give us a call tomorrow and ask for me or any of the salesmen and we can help you out.

This picture shows you the difference in the stock wheel vs 15" drag wheel.
the rotor is over 13" in diameter and the sock spindle won't even let you slide the wheel on.

We make everything fit. Our spindle packages hold ALL the records so far.

Is Carlyle the one selling the Tition copies? Not trying to start drama, but they were trying to put the LG kit down hard and push Carlyle's set for $2800. Just wondering if these were the copies your post references and what the differences between the kits are.

No drama - and yes we call his copy a "sloppy copy". Since it is

The only difference other then he didn't do a very good job of duplicating our drag spindles , is we use A General Motors brake caliper and he uses a cheap $100 SBC caliper. ( which I don't think it is as good as the GM OEM caliper )

But I digress - we are talking to Willwood to get a proper four piston forged caliper and custom rotor for those who want them.

Carlyle, who was a former dealer of LGM, threatened to copy my spindles ( he brags about what he did ).
I promised him that if he did I would under-cut his price, which I am. He was one of my biggest dealers but his lack of ethics got in the way.

I hope that wasn't too much drama.

We are priced $100 below his C7 price.

But in addition we are over $500 below his full package price

We offer 2 brake kits one is a GM brake and a 12 inch rotor that still allows emergency brake to be hooked up

Or other break is $100 more than that but that still puts us over $400 cheaper than the other kit

Your choice -- you can buy a pair of drag slicks with the savings

Black c7, It is real simple. With a C7 you can not run a 15" wheel without a brake package and a non GM A arm.
For that package we are around $500 less expensive than the genius who brags that "His Copy is just as good as the LG Original"??

So if you want to spend the extra $500 on an copy that is truly a very bad copy then so be it.

My Spindles have been setting all the Corvette records for years, even the guy who copied them set some kind of record.

Now my former LG Dealer, is bad mouthing my product-- the very product that he has made a bad copy of, as somehow not as good as his sloppy copy??

I have been serving the Corvette community here on the Corvette Forum for over 15 years and you have been on here for around 20 months and you are following me here and on a couple other forums trying to make my successful and original product look bad some how??

Price, Product Service.

My price is lower by $500, because a C7 must buy A arms and Brakes to run a 15" drag slick
My product is not only the original but the best.
My service at LG Motorsports has been tested for 25 years since we built our first performance products for Corvettes and Camaro.

Our ingenuity in creating the products that GM performance cars need has been tested as well as our service.

So the choice is yours.

Pick one -----

Thanks

Totally wouldn't go and spend 500 more for a copy, even i much respect LG since you guys didn't copy and made the conversion your self.

Sorry if you understood that im trying to make your product look bad but i was just trying to let you know that they have the same price but for a copy,

Expect me getting in touch with you guys these couple days for a conversion kit. Thanks

You guys have had one awesome (rear conversions) product for many years. I have been through similar situations with copycats through the
years in real estate development and building. It does suck when someone copies others hard labor and development for $$$$. You are sucking it up by your low pricing now and I really hope that the other company goes out of business soon.... very soon, so your point is proven. Cheers
