Fabricated A-Body spindle ideas and discussion

Mustang wheels seem to be a common go to when moving to 18’s so I don’t know if there is a need to push the wheel away from the caliper more. It’s worth keeping in mind. The benefit of the Mustang platform seems to be availability of calipers and the opportunity to go bigger. Could probably be just as simple with SRT goods but my recollection is six piston SRT calipers are quite a bit more money than six piston Mustang calipers. I could be wrong though. We probably need to pick a platform and roll with it, then work on geometry.

There are many Mustang wheels that won't work with the S197 4 post calipers. I used an '08 GT500 as my "model" on American Muscle and there were plenty that they said didn't fit. Including the 18x9 +24 they sent me by mistake. That on is in my Scat Pack brake thread and fit fine on those brakes.

Regardless, I'm not saying anyone has to go with the SP setup. I still vacillate but because I already have the needed info for the SP brakes, I haven't bothered to go get the info for the Mustang brakes.

I was hoping to home much sooner and take some chassis side measurements but that didn't happen.
