I converted my metric modified to nova lowers this winter and after talking to some people decided to try impala spindles(big car) as I couldn't afford to try the pinto spindles. Well, I've had alot of problems with the RF shock hitting the upper ball joint collar, which we might have solved by notching the spring cup and flipping the shock.
The car handles pretty well in the tacky, but occasionally skates the front end in the slick. I'm just wondering what the advantage would be with these spindles over the metric spindles? I am currently on a #650 RF spring and a 600 LF spring and am getting a ton of shock travel and camber gain. It just kind of sucks that being impala/nova I'm unlike any other cars around me to try and get some options for spring rates and various setups as I'm thinking the car needs stiffer springs. I'm also curious if the Impalas are better why Pierce and other builders run nova/metric spindles. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
