SSM NEGATIVE-ROLL-TALL-PERFORMANCE SPINDLES GM-G-BODY

These one-piece forged steel spindles are designed to work with GM G Body cars. 

BASICALLY BOLTING A C5 CORVETTE ON STEROIDS BEHIND YOUR WHEELS!!!

Tall Pro Touring Forged Performance Spindles for the G-Body. Raises Roll center, lowers center of gravity (0″-3″ drop), virtually eliminates bump steer and creates a negative camber curve that surpasses the C7 Corvette. Uses larger bearings with a wider separation and will accept OE GM 11-14 inch rotors. Huge single piston to 8 piston caliper options as well. Bolt on fast ratio steering arms. Even the ball joint and tie rod tapers are larger.  

Designed around stock and aftermarket lower control arms

Why Front end Geometry is Needed

If you want to improve the handling of your ride, you must first understand what is wrong with the original geometry. From the factory, these cars were designed to understeer. To make them do this, they used a very short spindle with the upper A-arm at a steep downward angle, which results in a backward camber curve making the tires lean out of a turn, using only the edges of the tire. Not only is this bad for mechanical grip, it’s also why every stock Chevelle, S-10 or G Body wears the outside edges of the front tires. All of the cornering forces are placed on a very small area of the tire.

To deal with this problem, there are several things that will help. Simply lowering the car will help to some extent, but not nearly enough to correct the whole problem. Bigger sway-bars will reduce the amount of bad camber gain, but again, it’s not enough… it’s like a band-aid on a gunshot wound.

To fix the bad geometry, you need a taller effective spindle height. The “effective height” of a spindle is from the pivot center of the upper balljoint to the pivot center of the lower balljoint. Tall spindles with stock balljoints, or stock spindles with extended balljoint studs will both achieve this goal. 

Below is a diagram of the same car equipped with a taller effective spindle height. Notice that the tires remain near vertical using the entire tread evenly across its contact patch. This is key to getting the most grip, and life out of your tires.

Now with extremely improved geometry designed for the rigors of SCCA, TransAm and NASCAR your car will truly dominate the street and track!

  • One-piece forged steel construction

  • Upper ball joint raised and relocated to provide added negative camber gain

  • Improved alignment adjustability

  • Utilizes GM OEM bolt-on steering arms

Again this is THE GAME CHANGER and NO G Body parts are retained in this extreme transformation.

  • Will not accept factory G Body brakes

  • Will not accept factory G Body coil springs

  • Will not accept factory G Body ball joints

  • Will not accept factory G Body tie rods
