It's actually a little lower than what I wanted.It has CB drop/disc spindles,and a CIP 2"beam.The beam adjusters are welded in too low of a position.The ride height is adjusted to it's highest position in the pic.I can drop it so low that it couldn't be driven.I have to be pretty careful where I drive.Paul

Thanks.Those are the M&H DOT'S.Very sticky tire.The pic was taken at the track just before I snapped the end gear at the starting line.I found out that using an IRS trans isn't the way to go.Paul

hows the Drop Spindles?

I'm looking at lowering my 57Oval and I've heard Drop spindles are the way to go.

but everyone i know they all used adjusters and have no input on drop spindles

(Sorry if i'm kinda stealing your thread.)

As for the Drop spindles-They are the CB units,and they are top quality.Bolt em' on.You'll need the Kingpin style for your oval.Mine is on a balljoint/IRS pan. As for the Georgia deal,No I've got a wedding I'm going to be at on Saturday.I'd love to go.Just came at the wrong time for me. As for the Orlando T-N-T,No I'm not going to make it as I'm going to be at the Rod Run at the Daytona Speedway.I will make it to the Orlando show on sunday.I haven't decided if I want to drive the bug,or bring the truck and sell some parts.I still need to find directions to it.The month of March is just FULL of cool meets to attend.VW shows,12 Hours of Sebring,Rod Run,Gator Nationals.Just not enough weekends in this month.Paul

Hey Vdubsinjensen, Cool Car! Where did you get those foglights? I've been wanting a pair like that for a while and was going to get the pair that CIP1 sold, but I can't find them on their website anymore.

Thanks,

J.W.
