Nope, not a Heidt's, but it is a forged spindle and the powdercoated control arms are just like they come out of the box. As Bob said, that may or may not even be a consideration. I've never broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged either type of spindle.... As for the upper coil over mount, yeah, it could be a stamped cone shape. But I gotta ask if that alone is worthy $100 or so bucks more? Good point Bob, just not sure how many customers would pay the extra $$$ to get a couple Heidt's decals on the control arms...that they have to scrape off when they paint anyhow.......
