Modified spindles

Hello,
I am making a drift car on a 87 rx7 and was wondering in the modified spindles is there any body selling them or do I take mine to a local machine shop to be modified?

Thanks

my spindles dont care what you do, they just work.

Are all year and model FC spindles the same? (vert, GXL, TII, etc.) Might be picking up some spare parts off a vert soon and will grab the knuckles to mod if applicable.

Thanks,

Andrew
