SVE spindles 5 lug

[AFB]

For those looking for new spindles 94-95 style, I stumbled across this kit. Seems to be a little pricey for what you could get junk yard parts for but Im considering ordering these. Just thought I would share some info. Seems like a nice complete, no guess work set up.

Hell... That looks like a great kit! Doesn't seem all that pricey to me considering it's a bolt on kit.

I'll send the link to this thread to Mustang5L5. IMO, he's the resident Fox brake upgrade expert.

Not a bad price at all.

But there no need for new spindles. Save some money and head to the junkyard for a set. Then some ball joint spacers ($15). Then just get this kit. Save yourself $400.

Well if you have money to burn or want all NEW parts (and there are some people that do), that's the kit for you.

Still...$1000 for the front only...I think i spend $700 to do F&R cobra disks and the MC and all the supporting hardware and e-brake and such.

But...would be nice to get all new stuff.

The M2300-K kit was $1800-2000 or so back in the day, and that included the rear, the mc and underhood stuff and e-brake cables. Gone are those days though.

I'm one of the 'new parts' guys. However, let's look at what I would look to buy new anyway:

Power Slot Rotors - 209.99
Hawk Pads - 114.99
Braided lines - 84.99
Total - 409.97

Difference of $540.02. That's serious premium to pay for spindles, figuring you can find the right setup with everything for ~$200.

Now me, personally, have actually had an easier time finding just spindle hub assemblies. So all that extra hardware (caliper bolts at 7$ a pop from Ford) and still having to source Cobra calipers, the $540.02 price tag plummets, probably closer to the $200-300 range. But that still leaves you out sourcing used parts that you have no inkling to the history of. Worth it? Possibly. But, I'd replace all the hardware anyway (Banjo bolts, caliper bolts, hubs [or at the very least hub bearings], and dust shields if the spindles don't have them.

An added bonus is the kit leaves you with an easier time cleaning everything before you give them a a fresh coat.

It absolutely comes with a premium, something you can easily circumvent yourself as 5L is proof of. However, for me, as I plan on replacing the shocks/arms/k member anyway, I'd probably shoot for this kit over anything.

In sum, to each his own, but this kit isn't that horribly priced overall.
