C6 Corvette AMT Motorsport X-Wife Drop Spindles (2005-2013)

Description

AMT Motorsport X-Wife Drop Spindles for the C6 Corvette Suspension (2005–2013)

The AMT Motorsport X-Wife Drop Spindles are designed for the 2005–2013 C6 Corvette when the goal is to lower the car without compromising the suspension’s operating range. This spindle design raises the wheel hub location so the Corvette sits approximately 1 inch lower while maintaining shock travel in the range GM intended. AMT Part Number: 265911.

This is a collaboration between GSpeed and AMT Motorsport and is intended for performance-focused street builds and track-day Corvettes where geometry and repeatability matter. These spindles introduce a significant alignment change, including approximately -3 degrees of camber, so the install should be planned with a dedicated alignment strategy.

Why This Brand Leads

• GSpeed geometry design paired with AMT Motorsport in-house machining and manufacturing
• Spindle strategy targets lowering without sacrificing suspension travel range
• AMT states a 5-year bearing guarantee and a lifetime spindle guarantee

Benefits

• Lowers the Corvette approximately 1 inch without reducing shock travel range the way spring-only lowering can
• Adds camber designed for cornering grip on performance-oriented alignments
• Reinforced caliper mount design intended to reduce caliper flex and improve braking feel

What to Expect After Installation / Use

Plan on a full alignment after installation. Because these spindles add substantial camber and the geometry differs from other drop-spindle designs, alignment settings that work for a street-focused setup may not be achievable or appropriate with this spindle design. Many owners choose these specifically for performance alignments rather than “street car” alignment targets.
