Re: Looking for suspension suggestions

You don't have to change spindles. You do have to modify the spindles which requires removing them & doing the permanent modifications if using typical drop or stock spindle castings.

That's the attractive thing about the CPP modular units. You buy/use one bracket for original calipers. When you're ready to upgrade to bigger brakes, you get a big-brake adapter bracket, remove the original set-up, install the big-brake brackets, & install your brakes. Beyond that? I would opt for made in USA myself if possible. That seems to be getting harder & harder to confirm these days. Given your circumstances, using the CPP Modular spindles would mean paying less labor when you decide to upgrade.

I've had a similar experience w/Travis so you're not alone nor is he. We're all human. He could of been having a bad day or we could have interpreted things wrong.

I was going to add his info but felt the OP was looking to minimize the sources for parts acquisition. Tin Works is def making some nice parts.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
