Has anyone used the kit? It seems like a decent price.

What did you think?

Do you need to change the upper or lower A arms to use this kits?

I looked at the Kore C5 products. However, they do not offer a complete kit. I want to make sure everything will work together.

Looks like a nice kit. I would definitely have spindle envy. Those baby's are hot.

I have a 77 t/a with
stock but modded spindles
3rd gen f body hubs
C5 rotors
4th gen f body calipers

The kit is a starting point but as the saying goes the devil is in the details.

Does this kit change the track width of the front wheels?

Also if it uses a vette hub that means the studs are probably metric like a 12mm x 1.5 for instance. So your lugs will no longer fit. You could run metric lugs but will they match the rear and is that important to you? Not impossible to swap out studs but not as simple as beating the old out and putting the new ones in either since they are difference sizes.

Also plumbing. An adj proportioning vavle possible new master and so on have to be considered also.

Just examples at how fine the details get just to bolt the wheels back on. Having different lug nuts front to rear would have bothered me.

Either way you go the details are the killers. The kit looks like a good starting point though.

You bring up some good points. I will have to do some more research. I was hoping someone here tried this kit.

Those are off-shore knock-offs of the AFX spindles. I've heard they aren't as strong as the originals, though don't know that for a fact. There's 2 versions, a tall and a standard height. Tall I believe would still use an aftermarket upper control arm that is made for tall spindles.

Factory/replacement C5 rotors, calipers, etc work, which I believe is why Toby (Kore) doesn't have a 'complete' kit. You source that common stuff locally so you don't have to pay for shipping.

I would have to check but I think this kit does add like a 1/4" or so track width.

You can source wheel lugs from the same manufacturer that look the same but at SAE and/or metric. So they will look the same.

I have the AFX setup on the lemans, love it. Hands down, the best handling 68-72 A-body I've ever driven. If you want to see it installed, check my albums out under my profile.

I'd like to hear more feedback on these too, since I would like to do the upgrade on the clone. I hate packing and adjusting wheel bearings, for one.

Only issue with the AFX/CPP setup is that you have to check the wheel spacing/clearance for the caliper. And I'm talking about the center part of the wheel clearing the caliper, not the outer rim section clearing (though that has to clear too obviously)

Not sure why you think Tobin @ Kore 3 dosent have complete kits? His stuff works with the stock spindles. You bolt it in and go. I bought my Z51 fronts from Tobin. Good stuff, great reputation within the pro touring community and he's a wealth of knowledge. If you have stock drums right now you can even reuse the hub if you turn it down under 6"

That's good firsthand info! Yeah, the f-body doesn't show as much of an improvement than the a-bodies do, but it's still an improvement. And again, the bearings can take a much higher load.

Think I'm going to take a shot at the spindles on the clone, have to get new wheels first though. I tried the wheels from the clone on the LeMans, and know they don't clear the calipers. I had on another thread (US MAG Bandit) posted the template for the hybrid brake setups, and someone else also posted one for the Z51 and Z06 templates I believe.
