: Spindle and break upgrades

I have a 67 Camero. Stock "A"s upper and lower and springs, No spindles. I have a complete front disc set up off a 99 Z-28.
the question is which way to go.

1) Use the stock stuff, get new spindles and adapt the brakes?
2) Use the stock "A"s and new Q5s, spindles and adapt the brakes?
3) New "A"s, (cost to much) Q5s, spindles and adapt the brakes?

A) Is the least expensive initial, and I can add the Q5s later, or even the "A"s. But what spindles would I get that would allow me to use the Disc Set up off the 99 Z-28? I want my car low, but my 2" drop spindle experience is not a happy memory. :mad:

:yes: Looking for suggestions, Would love to have $$$$$ to do it all now, but I think I need to go in steps on this.

Thanks

find a set of drum spindles and hubs from a 64-72 A body, 67-69 F body, or 68-74 X body.
the 99 Z/28 rotors fit on the drum hubs after you turn the outside diameter of the hube down a bit (a bench grinder works for this), and make a bracket to bolt the calipers and brackets to the spindle.
this will probably be the cheapest and easiest way to do it.
