Details will follow later, hopeful;ly later today. I still need to work some more on the car but not the brakes, I have an issue with my driver side control arm that needs to be fixed, but brake-wise I'm done.
   quick teaser 15 mm spacers was needed to clear MY wheels calipers HAVE to be grind off and spacer was used to push the rotor OUT 3 mm in order to clear ball joint. Rotor is based on a Cadillac Catera 2001 and I used Stanless steel brake lines and were just perfect, not too long and not short at all I'll go over the whole thing later. BTW, I did install the rotors backwards  I was tired and overlooked that, but I'll fix that sometime during the week.

QUOTE (Rusty @ Sep 9, 2009 - 1:56 AM)  If i didn't get that wrong, for him it was a little easier to upgrade because he had super strut suspension so he ended up swaping knuckles ? sorry guys, being cauhg up at work hopefully today at lunch time I'll write some of the do's and don'ts with this set-up and and rant about MY particular issue at hte moment that is affecting my brakes, but it's cause by something else that is defective on my car -------------------- |

I thought I had it all figure out (well most of it anyway) with these but Im confused again... ok where do these calipers actually sit on the front or back of the rotor? (I hope I've worded that right) -------------------- |
