FRONT END

[1982cutlasssupreme]

Hey, everyone looking for some help I have a 1982 cutlass supreme t top coupe, with a 454 swap and 700r4 transmission. For the rear end just 7.5 10 bolt 3.73 gears works good. Now the front end just has 10 inch rotors and I am looking to upgrade the spindles to get a little more strength and bigger brakes on. Would like to fit a 11" or 12" rotor on the front. Any suggestions on what spindles to get or to look for to upgrade my front end. Or has anyone done this particular upgrade ? Thanks Steve

I put on b body spindles and brakes. Had to buy. Shorter upper control arms to make them work. Simple upgrade works really. Well. Bought the upper control arms from ubmachine.

Do it right.. go with the z06 upgrade if you running a big block.. Skip has a few videos on here plus elco warren and big saint. All you need is blazer front spindles and Kore3 sell the big brake kits you need to run a 12-14 inch rotor.. I have a 13.9 z06 rotors up front. And it makes a big difference..

Ok so get like front spindles off a chevy blazer and put them on the car and then you say kore3 sells the big brake kits? Thanks Steve any mods or will the blazer spindles fit fairly easily.
