1982-1992 Camaro/Firebird "C7" Front Spindle Kit, Includes Caliper Mounting Brackets, Hawks Motorsports

1982–1992 Camaro & Firebird Front Spindle Kit for C7 Corvette Hubs | OEM Style Big Brake Upgrade | Hawks Restoration Parts

Introducing a cutting-edge spindle upgrade designed specifically for 1982–1992 Camaros and Firebirds — this front spindle kit replaces the factory-style spindle and bearing assembly with a modern sealed bearing style hub . Engineered by Hawks Motorsports for performance-minded builders, this setup offers a significant strength improvement over factory hardware, ideal for autocross, road course, and street applications.

Constructed from durable cast iron, just like the OEM unit, this spindle eliminates unwanted deflection and lash common with spindle-mounted bearings. By transitioning to the bolt-on sealed hubs, this kit eliminates pad knockback commonly experienced with fixed caliper conversions. You’ll benefit from greater braking consistency and precision.

This is a perfect solution for those looking at upgrading to the larger OEM offered Braking Systems available from many different Camaro and Corvette platforms. These spindles include a modular caliper mounting bracket, giving you the flexibility to bolt up a variety of high-performance brake calipers to match your specific needs.

The spindle is track-width neutral when using the supplied billet hub spacer, maintaining the stock third-gen wheel fitment — no need for custom wheels or wheel spacers.
