Brand New Rekudo Front Spindles - Pair, Fits 1970-1981 Camaro & Firebird (Part #RK600-02).

REKUDO spindles are one part of a fully engineered suspension and brake system for the 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro & Pontiac Firebird.  This suspension system is an auto-cross inspired modern suspension system that retains the original equipment (OE) appearance & strength with taller than stock spindles for improved camber gain & lowers the front of the vehicle by 1".    These spindles must be used with REKUDO Control Arms RK100-21 and REKUDO JL8 front brake system (calipers, rotors, hubs, dust shields, and brake hoses)  Spindles are forged 4140 chrome-moly steel construction with Black EDP Coating.  Spindles sold in pairs.

The 4-wheel disc brake upgrade (Corvette style 4-piston calipers for both front and rear) was offered on the 1968 Camaro as a "Heavy Duty Service" package sold through the parts counter at Chevrolet car dealers. In 1969, the 4-piston disc brakes could be ordered as a Regular Production Option (RPO) JL8 package on production vehicles. These high-end brakes were made available to support racing programs like the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), and Trans-AM road racing series. This unique brake option is very rare and was only sold on about 200 production vehicles.
