Project: Hatchbeater.....Unibody drop

bust'n out the body drop on my 91'hatch.....

I'm going with cylinders and I'm keeping the camber in the ass-end ( in other words I'm not going with a straight axle or anything like that)


I'm only running 17's because I want to lay the pinch molding flat on the ground.


Anyways.... I can't quite get the front on the ground yet.

I think the control arm is hitting still, but i already cut the shit out of the strut towers for clearance.


I geuss I need to cut more!!.........but even then I don't know if I cant get that much travel, I need 2 more inches to lay out the front........Not realy sure where to go from here??? do I need spindles or somthing?....I Don't Know....What is every one else doing? pictures would help.
.......Thanks.."lostCause"

sum ppl that i know just cut there stock spindels down 2 inches thats what i'd do and you should stil have a lot more to cut out

Can you even weld on spindles?? I know I've seen it done but I don't know much about it. do you just mig weld em'??
arent they like cast or somthing?
Thanks............"Lost Cause"

spindles are made of cast and unless you are a tig welding mutha you cant really weld to them and keep the strength that they need. I believe there was a thread about a company that is making a 2inch spindle for the civics. or have a man from biocustomz names MAX make you some.....

they are cast BUT they are cast steel and not cast iron. cast steel isnt as big of a deal as cast iron. i talked to a welder and his words where "just weld it up like any other peice of steel" i dont know if i would do all that, but i would heat it before i welded it. do a search you will find it. good luck man

JUST BUY THEM !!!

buy the spindles, raise the motor mounts and cut the shit out of it.

its not a body drop also good luck with ur build it needs alot more work then that and did u say ur goin to run air cylinders well if u cut ur spindles down then im not sure how u will cram a can to fit in there but if u look around on here theres lots of forums on this and im sure u can use there pics

your not going to be able to keep cylinders, im starting mine this spring and ive checked every possible way bags is it or hydros. cylinders will not clear the upper a arms in the front, mine hit when it was bagged normal with just 3/8 took off my forks.
