IMO a better way is to use 1973 C-Body spindles. Bigger brakes, bigger bearings,more KPI, 5/8" drop and raises the ball joint above center.  ;)

Yeah but 73 C body spindles were tough to find before B & E body guys started looking for them...   I know cause I've been looking for a set for a C body project for years... The only set I found that were real 73's not a 71 being told they are all the same  the guy wanted $350 for bare spindles.. They are still rusting in the same place...

Very true, I have a spare set "just in case" and have $300 into them.  :pullinghair:
