I was wondering if it would be worth it to write Bell-Tech and ask them to produce dropped spindles for the Fiero. I'm going to assume they still produce dropped spindles for the truck enthusiast crowd. I have a pair of Bell-Tech dropped spindles on my 85GT and the ride is as nice as stock, unlike my 85SE ST equipped front and rear lowering springs which rides pretty ruff and is subject to bump steer. Basically we'd have to HOPE they still have the patterns/machining to produce them again, but more importantly a business case for them to produce them again.

If they go to the trouble of machining a dropped spindle, I hope they have the brains to make the spindle fit a decent vented rotor and bearing combo.

I wouldn't be surprised if they still have the patterns. The business case is going to be whether they think they can sell enough of them to make it worth their trouble. Based upon other manufacturers attitudes, I'm guessing no. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
I wonder what their "break even" point is.

88 3.4 coupe. 17s, cut springs 'n all.

How about taller uprights to improve the front suspension geometry?

I can only hope they do have the CAD file for them them still!

YES

I don't about now but they used to make the drop spindles. I bought them in 1996 through IRM. The spindles and lowered spings came as a set for $400.00. They're holdig up great but you can't use them with the GT factory rims as they will rub the inside of the rim. A simple fix was to grid the lower part of the spindle for clearance.
