I have caprice spindles on my el camino and like it a lot. Stopping
power is much better than stock disc setup. I feel that handling is better
too, but I'm not too picky about that. The suspension gurus at Team
Chevelle in general don't like it because of increased bump-steer issues. I
can't say that I've noticed any difference.
Realize that you will need to spring for the "improved" upper control
arms which will set you back quite a bit. I bought Global West but
understand that there are many newer (cheaper?) options now available for
those. The front end on my 72 dropped almost exactly 1.5 inches with the
B-Body spindle. Also you will need the 1LE rotors from a 91 Camaro or
something similar if you want to retain the Chevelle wheel bolt pattern.
It all wound up costing more than I planned but has made the car better.

Hi,
I have a chance to buy a complete brake and suspension system off of a
95 police Caprice. Discs all around, ABS brain, tall spindles, etc. Is
the b-body spindle conversion still a decent option, or have new items
come out that put it to shame? Should I pick it all up?
It's for a 67 with a 305 that I drive on the street.
Thanks,
Dave.
