Default Lowering Spindles

Hello all,

This is my first post!

My question is about lowering spindles, I don't want to use lowering springs because I'm afraid of the tires rubbing on the plastics in the wheel wells.

I was wondering where I can find some spindles? I've researched for a hour or so with no luck - only springs.

Thanks!

This took me all of 10 seconds of googling, but these may not be the best or safest for street use: 1993-02 Camaro Drop Spindles
But, 2" drop spindles (ooh expensive), or 2" lowering springs, means the same difference to your tire to fenderwell clearance.

I clicked on the link hoping it'd take me to Google and type it for me but it didn't and now I'm sad....

But I would just buy lowering springs if you want to lower the car, though I can't see why as they are pretty low in the front to begin with. Just don't go lowering it too much or you'll have a storm drain meet the trans....had a friend do that recently in his VW that he just bought...

Oh here you go you friggin whiner, consider it an early Christmas present then! Let me google that for you
Fyi, I used "1993" for the search year since that's the first year for 4th gens, and parts would generally be listed as 1993-2002. Searching for specific years between those two may not turn up the same results. So much for google 101.

Thanks for the Google, apparently I'm inept.

Springs are cheaper, it's for the spring. We'll see when the times comes.

Thanks for the responses.

Oh don't be so hard on yourself, and that thought never crossed my mind (as far as you know).
Yep, considering the cost difference, spring is the thing!
