Re: 3 inch Drop Spindle question.

Does CPP make a 3"? I have had good luck with DJM or Belltech. DJM is usually cheaper. Regardless of what brand, Summit is a great source.

Good point, apparently I was not paying much attention to the thread title, I think they only make 2.5"......nice catch man.

Re: 3 inch Drop Spindle question.

CPP is coiming out with new products all the time, so I wasn't sure. Last I had checked they only offered 2.5" .

Just making sure I hadn't missed the release of a new spindle...

Re: 3 inch Drop Spindle question.

yea DJM love them! Just make sure you spray them with paint or they would turn nasty brown, I'm sure its the same for all spindles.

Re: 3 inch Drop Spindle question.

I searched a few sites and then found them cheaper at a local speed shop. I have 3in Belltechs and after several months and they are still looking brand new. No nasty rusty color on these spindles. It may be something DJM uses that's crappy.
