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)
