Currently I’m doing some bench racing for future upgrades on my Monte and one thing that’s been stuck in my head is a spindle upgrade.
I’ve been looking at SSM’s “Game Changer” kit, and while it’s the most cost effective out of the box for the gains SSM claims, it comes with a caveat that kinda breaks the deal for me: The spindle SSM offers has clearance issues with the brake kit I’ve been eyeing. Big Brake Upgrade offers sever adapter brackets that can be use to convert A, F, G, X and S10 spindles to the huge 14” rotor and 4 piston Brembo combo that came on the 2010-2015 Camaro SS. BBU’s brackets interfere with the spindle due to the required spacing of the caliper and rotor, and to my understanding there’s no way around this.
So I’m looking for suggestions on what spindles could be swapped into a G with relatively little fuss (or a lot if the benefits are there) without asking for a kidney in return like the AFX spindles from ATS.
I’ll also add that the whole point of this is to use as much stock replacement components as possible so breakage/failures aren’t as much of a hindrance as they would be with an aftermarket setup, like from Wilwood for example. This is why I was interested in BBU’s conversion brackets.
