Default Picture of a 84-87 crx/civic spindle.

I've searched here and google without a ton of luck.
Long story short, I'm trying to adapt some honda stuff to my 61 mini. I'm going to make my own suspension arms but want a honda spindle. Trying find the shortest overall height available on a honda spindle. Someone had mentioned that the 84-87 crx had a fairly short spindle.
Anyone have any pics handy or measurements
Basically I need front drive spindles from a car that doesn't use McPherson struts.

Thanks for entertaining a peculiar request.

Thank Tyson.

What I have found out today...is the 84-87 crx was macpherson strut...so that is a no go.
Basically 88-2000 use the double wishbone setup(or at least I think that's true)

I really don't want to cut down civic spidles.

yeah, was gonna mention its torsion spring too.

btw, S2000's have pretty short knuckles... but compatibility with B series axle is not given. nor is the RWD factor either.

hmmmmmm.......that looks very interesting.
Probably the the biggest obstacle with those is fitting inside 13 inch wheels. Definitely worth looking into though.
