    OK guys this cars doing my head in , I've done my homework spent hours on the net and forums before I change my hard earned £ into $ and spent them , So I've go astro springs 2" drop and 2" blocks on rear , swapped the flatty for a 302 and car is a bit high at the front , didn't want tail draggin but wanted car level , so next step shoebox central dropped spindles and steering arms ( these turned out to be fatman product ) , car sits just right but caliper hits upper A arm can't drive the thing , **** kit is jamco , so back to stock spindles , Anyone had this problem , from all my research this should have worked . Now looking for stock front springs and will try the dropped spindles again but can only finr lowering springs no stock any help would be great

    Years ago I ran Jamco springs with Fatman dropped spindle uprights and ECI disk kit which I believe at the time were Ford Aerostar rotor with spacer plus GM midsize (metric) caliper. I note Jamco site currently offers a disk kit for dropped uprights. Maybe contact them and see if the drop mounting bracket locates caliper differently.

    I purchased fatmans dropped uprights for my 49' club coupe. The lead time was a lot but when I had them in my hands it was worth it , quality and fit/finish is top notch.
