Looks appealing.

I find it annoying (typical of CPP) that you can't purchase the "X10" spindles & hubs only. You get to pay for a kit w/the extra 'value' of the included BJ's, TRE's, & TRE sleeves that usually aren't top tier quality of parts.

Although I agree that there ball joints and tie rod ends are not likely the best quality available.
I am sure the reason they sell it this way is because they did not want to have to build 3 different variants of this spindle and have to deal with the inevitable problem of mismatched ball joints and tie rod problems that people constantly have with the 63-89 trucks. In this instance one package should cover this wide range of years.
If anyone was going to run the Wilwood spindle on their 67 they would have to change all of these components anyway. So it does make sense for CPP to package them this way.

I'll agree to disagree. A simple statement telling you what spec/year BJ's & TRE parts are required would suffice (much like the ORIGINAL drop spindle when it came out).

Nice to have options

So an earlier post said 18lbs for the modular cpp spindle and the forged hub at 5lbs. I would like to get rid of some un-sprung weight my self. I have the Modular drop spindle and a wilwood big brake kit. Sure would be nice to know if the Pro spindle with bearing and hub weighed any less.
The sight says 43lbs shipping weight but I would think that would include the box or what every they ship it in. If there is only 3lbs different per side its hard to justify the extra dough.
