Finally took my car into the race shop to have my new brake stuff put on. To start with they couldn't get the caliper bolt loose and had to cut them. The barake line hole on the stck caliper is a different diameter than the newer one. Then the spindles that I got from a reputable junkyad totally didn't match. The strut holes didn't line up and the spindles are a half inch narrower. Added to that the driver side has bad scoremarks all over it, so bad that they cant even slide the bearing over them. So 7 hours and $700 later my car is still on the rack and they are going to have to scavenge the spindles off a burned out 92 they have. Needless to say the mechanics were not real happy, nor was I but I at least had a friend that leant me his Caddy so I could come home and get to work in the morning.
Thanks for reading and letting me vent. I can also answer a few questions about doing the larger rotor conversion.
