Farmer Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 When installing coilovers, can you still run drop spindles? Or does it matter? Datsun 620. Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 you'll have less camber wear if you run drop spindles. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 It shouldn't matter in the least in theory, but as for the drop spindles causing any kind of clearance issue with the coilovers compared to stock spindles, I suppose it could. I doubt it, though, as the drop spindles shouldn't be much different from stock other than the vertical location of the spindle. Quote Link to comment
SKkeeterZ Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Im curious as to how you are going to run spindles and coils on the same tower Quote Link to comment
69FJWagon Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I have drop spindles and coilovers on my KC and love it rides nice better than my old WRX Clayton Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Aren't drop spindles only used when lowering? Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 He might have been thinking how a 510 works: 510s have towers, where the coil is up inside the tower and the spindle down below the tower. 620s don't have towers (they don't use mcpherson strut suspension). A 620 can be converted from stock torsion bar springs to coil springs. I'm curious: why bother to do this? Quote Link to comment
