How much are they?
I bet you can find a cheaper/better product somewhere else.
PerformanceOnline.com sells them for $228.99
Summit Racing has them for as low as $209.

I'm not a fan of LMC,... if you couldn't tell.

Re: LMC drop spindles ??????

Welcome to the forum Blacksunshine87. If you do some research in our Feedback Forum I think you will find that LMC is not well liked by most members. They are hit and miss with customer service, and questionable on quality. I have ordered from they before and have had mixed results. Certain small items were just fine, while others were pure import trash.

I would consider looking in our Suspension Marketplace or the Vendors Marketplace before you decide what is the best deal.

Just remember there are 2 different 73-87 drop spindles.
Measure the width of your rotors.
They will be either 1" or 1-1/4" wide.
The spindles you order, will have to match your rotors.

Re: LMC drop spindles ??????

I bought 2.5" summit brand spindles from Summit, and I have had nothing bad to say about them.
I bought some brake lines from LMC that were bent wrong at the master cylinder, so they look goofy. Not only that but some idiot from LMC bent my brake lines in half to get them to fit in a smaller box. One of the sets of lines was back ordered so I got socked with a $20 handling charge for each of two shipments that they made. I called them and spoke to one of their cottomer sevis agents who assured me there would be no double handling charge...but sure enought there was. LMC SUCKS.

Re: LMC drop spindles ??????

I would look elsewhere before buying LMC. I have found that although LMC is fine for smaller things, larger things are usually more expensive. I have to say I have never had a bad experience with LMC so far and I have made quite a many purchases from them.
