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

do you have powersteering? I have a set of super now tie rod spacers and bump steer eliminators. I cant use them since I have a manuel rack.

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
