Just lurking around and found this old thread. I happened across a set of 71 spindles, rotors, bearings, calipers, and new pads on CL the other day. Picked them up last night for only $80. Checked out the FAQ thread so I can see that I'll still need MC, prop valve, hoses, tie rods and ball joints, but then I came across this thread.

I get that there isn't an advantage to using these old parts, but is there an advantage to using new ones or does it really matter? I like the height my truck sits at right now so I don't really need drop spindles. Pads look perfect and the rotors don't look bad either. I suppose the calipers may need replacing, but at that point it's still cheaper than a set of $270 spindles or a swap kit right? Is there something I'm missing or did I actually get a good deal this time?
