Ive personally never seen them or even knew of their exsistence until now...

i have heard of drop spindles...they run about 3-400 bucks, require 15" wheels, available in red or blue.....Available from Ryane Motorsports....


Drop forks would be cool i guess...who makes them?

Chech the http://www.g2ic.com board. A member modified his strut to sit lower in the front fork giving him about another inch of suspension travel. This could possibly be done on an ef also.

here is the link to the thread. Again, its been awhile since i wrenched on an EF, but I think it would work. http://www.g2ic.com/forums/showthrea...&threadid=5829

They dont look cheap to me! nobody I know has used them, but come on they cant be "cheap" A part like this has to be made pretty well doesnt it? I mean if this product were to fail, this company wouldnt be in business right?

As far as red or blue...thats just the color they chose to powdercoat them in...

Dont tell me a product is crap based on color and looks...I mean say i didnt like silver and orange...that would mean Hasport is Crap...right?

This is a special front spindle designed to lower the front of the vehicle by 1 1/2" without changing any of the control arm angles relative to the vehicle chassis. This is the industry-approved method of suspension lowering as it does not alter the manufacturer's geometry design.

In automotive circles the word spindle is used to describe an assembly which consists of a spindle, an upright member (which separates the upper and lower ball joints), a steering arm and a variety of brackets for mounting brake components etc. The actual spindle is the shaft about which the wheel rotates. On a "lowering spindle assembly", the shaft is raised in relation to the upright member, thereby having the effect of lowering the vehicle relative to the wheel.IMPORTANT WHEEL FITMENT NOTICE
A minimum of 15" wheels are required. Maximum wheel back side spacing is 143mm (5 5/8"). The back side spacing is measured from the wheel mounting surface to the innermost edge of the wheel rim. The dimensions above INCLUDE the tire bulge, if any. Wheel size examples to be used as a rough guide:
7" wide with up to 41mm positive off-set
7.5" wide with up to 35mm positive off-set
8" wide with up to 28mm positive off-set Ryane Motorsports will not be held responsible for improper wheel fit. The combination of wheel rim off-set and width will directly affect the tire/ fender clearance. Please keep this in mind when ordering our steering knuckles to fit with your existing wheels or if ordering new wheels to fit with our steering knuckles.

The knuckle gets in the way of any rim smaller than 15......

Id much rather have the drop forks...but how the hell can you get them??
