Anyone know if there is another Toyota/ Lexus front spindle that I could swap out to act like a drop spindle? The damn upper control arm is so close and bangs the shock tower in the front over the smallest bumps. Don't say raise it up lol. Not happening. Just wondering TIA

326 Power and T-Demand sell shortened spindle knuckles if you want to look at those. You'll be looking at some mad $$$ though.

Most deff bro! I've been thru it all. Bought a 768 AWHP evo from a dude in ATL, about the time I left of when he stopped replying to my text. He was super sketchy. Well, just driving down the road not even 2 weeks from date of purchase, and just cruising, the 2.3 JAM engine just started falling apart.

Anyways, nice to know that I bought a car from a honest guy who is cool and replys if I need something. Feel as if I have gained a friend if anything.

When I get some work done, and head to ATL, we need to meet at a varsity meet or something. I wanna see that LS LAID THE ***** OUT!

Thanks man! It's just plasti dip. I will have them actually matched later. Starting to piece my air setup together for now. Gotta have the whole front end resprayed so that will be a perfect time to break down the wheels.
