waybad wrote:Hey Martin,
How much clearence do you have between the lower spindle mount(ball joint) and the coil spring?
the reason I ask is, I want to try to bring the lower ball joint in as close as possible along with the upper
one, so I can narrow the track width of the front wheels,,, trying to tuck the front wheels in as much as I can.
I have 15x5 welds with 3 1/2 back spacing but I still don't want the front wheels out further than the back ones.
Thanks and keep up the great work!!

In the pictures showing the measurements of the spindles, I noticed that the spindle centre of the S10 drop spindles is only about 3cm. (approx. 1.15") higher than the Vega spindle centre. I guess that gives us some idea of just how low our cars sat when they came from the factory.
In the picture of the lower control arm, there are washers on the bushings. Are these the same type of washer that came with the car, or are they just a flat washer that you used for a substitute?
