Has anyone recently purchased a dropped axle and front axle steering and brake kit from Speedway? I'm looking for a dropped axle front end and brakes for my Model A project. Speedway's pricing looks very good. Just wondering about the quality or any other issues others may have encountered? The parts included in the kit are: 4" Dropped Axle 11" Rotors Pads 37-41 Ford Spindles Dust Caps Spindle Nuts AN3 Caliper Fittings Kingpins Flat Steering Arms Tie Rod ***embly Hardware Axle-$220 Steering & Brake Kit-$600
Do you have part numbers? I am a Speedway dealer and have ordered front end kits for customers.. Curious what you are looking at.. Jason.
Got one for a straight axle set up a friend had done and the parts were great. We did go with the Wilwood brakes but I think the speedway brakes would be just as good.
Do it!Don't even think about MAS racing,got one of theirs for my latest project never again.I put a Speedway setup on my wifes T and will use Speedway's again.
I have no experience, but have read on here about quality issues. Never skimp on suspension or brakes... curious what other have to say.
I have bought a lot of stuff from Speedway and they have yet to disappoint. The tech guys are A-1, too.
Speedway makes a lot of their own parts.. I have used several of their front end parts with no problems...Plan ahead and order early though... This time of year there are a lot of builds going on...Parts can be B/O for a while sometimes... Jason.
yeah and right now speedway has free shipping to the lower 48 states up until january 12th..Im soon to be ordering a complete fron end and brake set up for my A project..so it is good to hear that they have a decent reputation.
They got free shipping, but all the front end parts are out of stock.....Im buying raw ones and chroming myself, and even them are out of stock....
Bear - Here's the part numbers: 702-2850 913-3902-traditional steering, 4.5 bolt pattern, plain I arbitrarily picked the 48" king pin center to center would 46" be better?
Here is two different cars that I build using the same Speedway front end, hub to hub. They fit and work great for all of my applications and I will continue to use them, in addition to a number of other Speedway parts http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=4029077&a=31517032&p=73248357 http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=4029077&a=31900496&p=74668771
All of my frontend parts were purchased from Speedway except the 37-41 Spindles and caliper brackets which I bartered for but am sure they also came from Speedway. Good quality parts VERY helpful staff.
I am a dealer for Speedway too. You must be very carefull of what parts you order from them. Price is not everything boys. Do you see the steering arms in the kit 913-3902 ? I wouldn't use those on my lawn mower. And a tie rod with hiem ends? yuck. Why do you think they call tie rod ends "tie rod ends"? (because they go on the end of a tie rod) And if the back order is on a Magnum axle,I wouldn't hold my breath. Happy happy joy joy
