I'm looking for a spindle or spindle and strut assembly for a LeMons project. The ultimate goal is to get 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern and Cobra brakes on the front of a first gen RX7. I may redesign the old respeed spindle spacers and run 2nd gen hubs, but I may scrap the whole thing for a more modern and stronger set up.
What I'm looking for is a rear steer spindle, a performance strut, and a 5 lug hub. What car could I look at to get started?
Don't forget that you will need the tie rod and ball joint to be on the same axis if you want to keep bumpsteer to a minimum. There are lots of front drive uprights that have the tie rod way high for your goals.
Perhaps this thread will be relevant to your interests: http://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/possible-discovery-fc-front-struts-1074796/

Thanks for the link. I've read it, but not studied it yet.
Looks like 240sx or other similar nissan parts may be adaptable.
