Oh yeah i forgot about that. What we ended up doing was creating a bevel on the rotor to match the inside of the wheel, and we used a brake lathe to do so. It wasnt perfect but it worked just fine. Other than that we had no problems with the kit.

^ Yeah that was the route that I was going to take. I still have the rotors. Then I came across some spindles, rotors, calipers, axles, dust shields, and hardware. Just couldn't pass them up.


(as a package deal)

Those type of deals you just can't pass up lol.

Yeah i knew you could go the junkyard route, but i wanted new parts, and i didn't want to have to wait to scrounge all the parts up.

Depends on which wheels you want to use.

Like stang mang said, you could bevel the edge of the rotor to make it fit if you want to.

I'd just find the spindles, rotors, calipers, and dust plates for the front and do it that way. The rear would be alright from that kit.

The wheel bearing is packed in the rotor with that kit. It is the stock style.
