I have the whole front off and apart, and was wanting to get some info before I go any further. I am building a 72 Skylark and want to keep the camber and toe in check on launch, when the car's front end wants to lift, for a 10.00 second 1/4 mile car? Is there a certain spindle to help with this? Thanks, John.
B-body spindle conversions are awesome for turning, and getting bigger brakes.... I don't do straight line stuff (working on that deficiency) yet, so I'm not sure how it would help since you're adding weight on the front for no real purpose (you're not going to cycle the heat, so you don't need the larger, heavier rotors and accompanying hardware). That said, I've done the b-body conversion. Used Caprice 9C1 (cop car) spindles, 1LE rotors (from 89 up IROC Camaro), and tubular upper control arms from some bloke on ebay (really, I have no idea who sold them). At the same time I put drop springs on the front - this adds to the 1 1/2" drop you get from the spindle conversion. I enjoy the swap - and it handles like a dream. The car came with the quicker steering box, with that plus rear sway bar, handling is on par with a german sports car (seriously).
