Thing about bumpsteer is that you do not change spindle height to fix it. Regardless of what spindle you run, because spindle hieght doesn't cause bumpsteer, though it might accentuate it.

You fix bumpsteer by changing the location of the tie rodd pivot points, inner or outer depending on what you have for bumpsteer. Since the tie rod pivot points never change when you swap out the spindles I find it real hard to accept the claim that a taller spindle causes it.

Did you front or rear mount your calipers? I want to rear mount my calipers to clear the factory sway bar on my 69 Road Runner. If I can get the hoses at the parts store instead of ordering them, that would make things easier, particularly if they have to be returned.

I rear mounted them to avoid swaybar interferance. Just be careful with your brake hoses as Rick says above. Some people have had the hoses custom made but I seem to have found a good match with those St. Regis hoses, and they're only $30 and change per pair.

... If using the taller spindles raises the ball joint end of the upper arm in relation to the pivot point of the arm, could you use the moog offset bushings to raise the rear of the arm 3/8 to compensate? If so would that make the geometry acceptable? I believe there would still be a difference in the roll center but would all else be ok?
