[QUOTE="Street Warrior, post: 16227296, member: 112835"] Little update on my findings. First little background on my application. I did a Terminator swap into my Fox and pretty much everything I’ve done has been a challenge and time consuming. My OCD might have a little to do with it. Factory tolerance will vary from one car to another with the spindle since it was designed for a floater application and didn’t matter much. Now with a fixed caliper I wanted to ensure everything was a close as possible. On the spindles, drilling out the holes with a 9/16 bit on the car needs to be done with care. I dined do so well on the driver side but ok on the passenger side. This will help in opening the holes to accept the caliper. I would have done this off the car if possible.
