I play mostly in late 50's mopars and a popular conversion around the scene is to run the Volarie spindle to get disc brakes, because "its all mopar!" This has always struck me as a less than ideal setup as the Spindle is a little over 1" shorter than the stock spindle between the balljoints. Disc Brake conversions are readily available for the cars... so i'm stuck trying to argue that its a bad idea vs retaining the stock spindle, but without much to back it up.

What kind of effect would this have on the camber curve of the suspension? I feel like since it pulls the upper a-arm down and in, that once aligned at rest, the shorter spindle would cause camber to push out into positive camber pretty much immediately since the ball joint is moving out to get back to its old at rest position. Am I thinking correctly about this? What other ill effects would this have on the suspension from a handling perspective?
