I have FFR 3691K. I'm using Fox spindles, FFR tubular lower control arms, and kit included SPC upper control arms.

I would like to change to the new spindles, that are supplied with the complete roadster kit. I don' see them in the catalog, can they be purchased seperatly?

Will the spindles, ball joints, and arms that I have work with these spindles?

Bob,

The new Mk4 spindles use an alternate upper control arm mounting location on the chassis. You cannot use them on any of the older models. I will post some pictures of the mounting location later on today.

Best regards,

Brian @ FFR

The first photo shows the mounting location for the upper control arm using the FFR Mk4 spindles. The older model kits did not have this alternate mounting location.

New style

Here is a picture of a Mk3 upper control arm mount for a standard mustang spindle.
