Assuming that the spindles are interchangable with the Tiger
setup, this sounds like a solution for those who have changed to 15"
wheels. The drop of your spindles would allow the front end to be only
.12" higher with 15 inch wheels and similar size tires. It is getting
hard to find a good selection of 13" tires today.
