Advanced Design and Application
Wilwood’s ProSpindle Hub kit is engineered for strength and reliability, utilizing a forged aluminum construction. By using the versatile Mustang II-style spindle as a foundation, Wilwood ensures this kit can be fitted to a wide array of custom automotive projects. The primary feature is its 2.00″ drop, which lowers the front suspension to create a more aggressive stance without negatively impacting the vehicle’s steering geometry. This makes it an ideal choice for builders looking to enhance both the look and performance of their vehicle. The design also includes strengthened radial caliper mounts capable of handling the significant stopping power generated by big brake systems.
Simplified Installation and Enhanced Versatility
A key advantage of the ProSpindle kit is its user-friendly design. The hub assembly is precision-machined from steel and incorporates a sealed unit wheel bearing, a feature that not only simplifies the installation process but also minimizes future maintenance requirements. This integrated hub provides durability and safety for a wide range of applications.
Further enhancing its adaptability, the hub features two different wheel bolt patterns. This dual pattern allows for the fitment of popular 5 on 4.75″ or 4.50″ wheels, giving builders greater flexibility in their wheel and tire choices. The kit is completed with a bolt-on steering arm designed for typical front-steer vehicle configurations.
Complete Brake System Compatibility
This ProSpindle hub kit is engineered to seamlessly integrate with a complete series of new Wilwood brake kits. It is fully compatible with systems using large rotors, ranging in size from 12.19″ up to 15.00″, and can be paired with powerful four or six-piston calipers. To accommodate modern vehicles, a VR-style port for ABS is included as a standard feature, and the kit comes with a plug and wiring loom if needed.
