1968 A Body Disc Brake Conversion (my next question)
Still working to help out my brother with his 68 Skylark disc brake conversion...
I am looking for good quality aftermarket disc brake spindles to use. Any recommendations? I don't want to risk using anything that may be cheaply made/ unsafe. A couple of places that sell these spindles are Original Parts Group and Helix Suspension. I noticed the Helix Suspension spindles claim to be forged steel. They are also cheaper than the spindles that Original Parts Group sells. ($125 a pair vs. $83 each) Does anyone have experience with Helix Suspension? Do they have a quality product or is it cheap junk? Does anyone know what company makes the spindles that Original Parts Group sells? (I'll probably give them a call and ask when I get the chance) As always...thanks for the help!! It is greatly appreciated.

CPP. They claim that they are forged spindles. I bought my kit through eBay using a 10% off coupon and free shipping, for about $450, if I recall.

Looks like a nice kit. I am curious if stock steering arm modifications will be necessary and if so what you had to do to modify.
