I happened to find a company in CA that has about 20 sets of NOS Bell Tech 2 inch drop spindles for 84-87 on closeout. These were first used on the "real" Indy pace car's and then offered to the public. I remember seeing them on the shelve way back in the early 90's. By the time I had the money to get them they no longer made them. I found the company on ebay by the name thesuspensionsource2010.

I made them a offer much less then they were asking and they took it. Here is a picture of them still in the box..

How much did you offer them? If you don't mind

Kev, PM me on what you offered them. I made an offer on a set, hope I didn't low-ball them.

Silly question probably, but how much of a drop are they?

I low-balled & they didn't bite. They countered with $285 on which I didn't bite....

They our "2" inch drop.

They countered me $249.00, willl see how this works out

The listings say 84 to 88. Aren't the 88 spindles different?

yes, the 88 is different.

Just called them. Sorry no 88's available. Six sets left and they are sold out. Wish I has an 84-87.

HaHa they just accepted my offer for 250.00 I have been looking for a set of these for so long, im so happy i scored a set. Thanks Kev for the heads up, a + to you. Daniel

Rick,
I know I'll probably get flamed for this - but since i needed to replace my ball joints anyway

I used the Rodney Dickman 1 inch lowering ball joints and the long zero lash end links

They worked great - but only an inch and you need at least 15 inch rims

I'm glad to help!

Yep, and that voided my offer since it shows you as the winner when I look at their counter offer which came in at the same price you bought them for.

oops my bad. Sorry about that, i think they have some more sets. You could drop them a email and see.

If they sold 20 sets in one day, then there's enough demand to put them back into production. I wish I hadn't missed this deal, I'd pay $250 for a pair. All I got yesterday was "I got me some". Wow, I shoulda got online instead, dammit!

Damn, I wish I didn't miss this..
