spindle choices

Hi all, I am in the market for some new front spindles. While on the power tour I lost an outer wheel bearing which in turn trashed my spindle. It was fixed and away we went but now I have torn it down and figure it better be replaced.
Currently I have CPP modular ones. I have the bracket and am using the D52 Wilwood replacement brakes so I don't know that I will ever upgrade to a larger brake so these modular ones are really not as important to me. These are only 2 inch drop and I can always use another 1/2 or so...
These appear to be good spindles but would you look elsewhere? Or stick with these? With my wheel choice I ended up with spacers so if the spindles widened my track it would not hurt I would just ditch the spindles.
This is on my 68.
Thanks
Dave

Re: spindle choices

Excuse my ignorance, but are you running factory size rotors or a larger size? What I assume is that you are running modular spindles with a bracket to run D52's and stock 5 lug rotors, is that right? If so then I would think you could run any C10 specific spindle and bolt up the D52's. I run ECE spindles FWIW.

Re: spindle choices

I probably was not clear. I am running stock size rotors. They are 6 lug.
Yes I can run any C10 specific spindle I had just read on here there are some cheap ones and I drive this think so I wanted to get a good quality spindle. I will be autocrossing so again I wanted strong.
I have heard good things about the ECE stuff.
Thanks
Dave
