    Well worth it, can't even buy knockoff spindles and gussets for that price really. @WarFab Armor (who makes/does those gussets) is a great company as well!

    They say they make their own spindles and then have some other company add gussets. Why don’t they simply make their own spindles beefier so they don’t need gussets?

    So presumably the company making the factory spec spindles is also selling them to a larger market without gussets as direct replacements.

    I've been looking at those too, it's definitely a solid deal and hard to not consider. I also like the DRT fabrication ones too but they have a core exchange in place ($650 upfront/$200 core charge) about $450 when all's said so cost about the same as the mid atlantics with powder coat.

    The DRT's to me are a little more appealing as I like how their gusset extends more out towards the inner tie rod connection and its seems to sit flush with the spindle.

    Having a bit of nicer spindle gussets or getting a slightly better deal an not having to fuss with a core exchange?

    Hey Guys!! We are actually building the spindles ourselves. Since the supply chains are super constrained we are supplying OEM replacements to various companies to sell as their own. Then we ship some off to WarFab to have them work their freaking magic.

    The reason why we can be so affordable is because we are already building them to supply to the OEM replacement market and we just grab some off the line.
