I thought the AR kit used drum brake spindles??

If it is the disc spindles you do need they were the same on the '73-'76 A-Body too.

Thought you might have gone for a pair of new 2" dropped spindles :idea:
Or what about those Scarebird bearing adaptors?

Thanks guys I scored a set of A-Body disc spindles, dust shields, bolts from a 1974 A-Body. Dave, the caliper adaptor kits form AR Eng. are for either early or late model Viper calipers with 2003 being the changeover point. I was interested in the 2003 on up Viper kit which use 73-76 A body or 73 up E-Body disc spindles. Adrian, I found out the aftermarket uses castings which are plenty strong, but the original factory spindles are drop forged steel, cant beat that! :lol: Dave is an advocate of the original chassis parts as am I, but sometimes there are stronger parts out there, you just have to shop very carefully. :lol:
