MX-5 Miata Spindles anf brakes anyone using them
Bonjo - 19/6/02 at 05:55 AM

I just started. Using MK Indy A-Arms and upper and lower ball joints with Poly Caps and bushings. CMC Locost Chassis. And Miata brakes (big 1997+).

Anyone fit these spindles? I modified the spindle to accept the upper ball joint, and the lower fits, but is nearly maxed out deg given Mazda's crazy angle. Is it not wise to have the lower ball joint nearly maxed at rest. I fear that 1 deg neg camber will not be enough given the 300lb springs with such wide (mechanical lever) A-Arms.

Any advice or photo exchange is appreciated.
