Nothing has to be done to use dropped spindles other than changing them out and switching rotors from one to the other, but if no one sells them then what is the question?

The spindles for your car are the exact same as the ones for an S10,Monte Carlo, Malibu,etc....
Just swap the old ones out with the new ones....No need to change anything else.
Later,
