    We are getting so high with our cars now, maybe the weight being that high is making the cars too twitchy? Not as stable. The higher the cell, the more weight would move around with smaller amounts...

    I always liked the bolt in lower bar. The stiffer that LR is, the better.

    Having different stems is a good way of testing different heights without building new spindles. Once you hit on something, I would always build a new spindle with that height adjusted. Running stock...

    Oh yes. We used a 15/16 wrench with the radius sanded down to fit. It only matters for certain spindles.

    Years ago I was told the sparking on the left rear was due to the nickel content in the rotors. Usually, it was the Performance Friction stuff. They are quite a bit more money, but they are supposed...

    I don't have a part number, but most screw-in lowers use a Chrysler screw-in. Years ago car builders were using the Chevy (Rayburn) press-in or the Chrysler screw-in (rocket).

    I see something that keeps getting overlooked by guys trying to get more height on the LR. When running a beam axle, you will need to also increase the roll angle or you will start pulling load off...

    Exactly! I wouldn’t worry as much with roll center as other things on the front end. Lots of speed to be had in front end stuff though. I’d be looking at building my own spindles if I had a car.

    I always liked either Gibbs or Schaffers. I was told once, by a guy who built rear ends for NASCAR, that the most important aspect is to keep it clean and change it often.
