Ridetech AFX Hub 2" Drop Spindle for GM A-Body, F-Body & X-Body (Pair)
The Ridetech 11009312 AFX Hub 2" Drop Spindle Kit is the ultimate front suspension upgrade for classic GM muscle cars. These spindles drop your vehicle 2" while dramatically improving negative camber gain and roll center geometry for superior handling and cornering performance. By integrating modern C5/C6/C7 Corvette hubs and brake systems, you gain maximum strength, consistent braking, reduced maintenance, and the ability to run large modern brakes – all while keeping stock track width and a clean factory appearance. Finished in durable black E-Coat and 100% manufactured in the USA, these spindles are the perfect foundation for any Pro-Touring, restomod, or performance build.
