I suspect that with my vintage SPF I would have to change out the entire brake hub and rotor assembly to the newer Wilwood components in order to use the dropped spindles. I did install the Howe 22320 ball joints and they certainly made a difference in steering effort. However, I'm still not convinced that the 22320 ball joint is the correct unit for my car. The taper is correct, but protrudes through the control arm about 3/16" too far. I machined some counterbored spacers to resolve this issue, but I suspect that a better taper length could be ordered from Howe that would eliminate the need for the spacers.

I have some "take-off" SPF spindle/hub/rotor/caliper setups available if you are interested as well as just rotor/hub/caliper setups.
