Spindle Size Differences?
Hey guys,
I have a question here regarding the difference in spindle size between a small and big bearing spindle.
I am preparing to have my coilovers (Stance) welded and I have a set of small bearing spindles.
I am concerned that the size of the spindle body is different between big and small bearing spindles.
Can anyone confirm this?
See pic below. The included coilover bracket is actually slightly bigger than the spindle casting where it must be welded.
Now I am wondering if I need to go and find larger bearing spindles so they can be properly welded?

there are three spindles,
79-80, 81-83 and 84-85.
the 79-83 are small bearing, and 84-85 are big.
they all use the same strut tube diameter, but the 79-80 is longer.
not sure about the casting around the spindle...
