Your welcome. Hey, part#12059612 for the Metri-Pack 280 may have been changed to #12040977. At least WAYTEK has it this way.

Re: The Grip
Paul,
Do you feel the wider wheel makes up for using a stock height spindle? I definitely see the advantages to lower the car 2" with minimal bump steer issues.

Re: The Grip
Just out of curiosity and before I install the drop spindles, what would the trade off be if using stock spindle - thus tie rod clearance - and a much wider 10.5 to 11" tire?

Re: Suspension question
I also had a great experience working with Cody at Racecraft. Just so you know the spindle they sell for Road Racing is beefier and also costs more than the standard 2" drop spindle.

After reading my post it seems the rotor would be moved 2" closer to the caliper mounting point not lower. The spindle itself must be moved higher to lower the car.
