A dropped spindle can be the best way to lower the stock suspension on a hot rod, maintaining full travel while tucking the tires into the fenders. A disc brake upgrade would be the next item on your list. Using the new in-house CNC machining capability, Fatman Fabrication has just designed their new 2-inch dropped spindles for the ’56-64 Olds. An integral mount for the effective and easy-to-source ’70-81 Camaro caliper is used, along with the ’73-87 12-inch Chevy pick-up rotor. The standard 5 on 5-inch bolt circle is maintained, but disc-brake—capable wheels and master cylinder will be required.
