EMPI cast drop spindles are brand new units, not re-manufactured old cores! CNC machined to exact tolerances. These spindles feature 1/4" outwards offset. Clearance is usually not an issue. Made only for 4-Lug VW (4/130) and 5-Lug Porsche (5/130) disc brake applications. These spindles are the first step to a brake system upgrade while giving you the built-in ability to lower your car an automatic 2 1/2" just by bolting them on. Link Pin spindles utilize stock tie rod holes while the ball joint spindles require 69-on inner wheel bearings and tie rod ends. Both spindles use original steering geometry so the ride and handling of the car is not negatively effected.
