Does someone make drop spendles for the stock 69 disc brakes?

I think they can all mount stock brakes if not mistaken even though there are ones out there that can mount 12" and 13" rotor systems.

The biggest problem with dropped spindles is that you can hit your inner rim's lips with the outer tie-rod if the rim has too much backspace.. And that usually means you need bigger dia rims..

Hope this helps??

Do a search of our archives first, they are not a good way to go.
They require second gen Camaro rotors, yours won't fit. 69 calipers would probably fit.

i think the 1 piece knuckle/steering arm drop spindles take 2ndgen parts.

there is supposed to be a tall spindle/drop spindle which takes all stock parts.
...probably has the tie-rod issue mentioned still though.
