Dedication or stupidity? I am coooooooolllldddd
Ya, u is dum dum.
I put this in the suspension section too, but in reading the last few posts, it seems to fit here too...

HEY! It wouldn't be a Camaro project if something went smooth, so... guess how the brake job went.
I was going to finish the coil thing today, but decided to just toss on the spindles... so I shot back over to the junk yard to pick 'em up. Here's what he gave me.

No problem... I've never done this before, so it's a learnin' opportunity. EMBRACED!
Took 'em apart; the hard way... and got down to what I needed and decided to go the extra mile and took the right angle sanding wheel to 'em, primed and painted:

Then I went to work installing what we had:

Then... things took a turn.
The geometry didn't work... put the rotor on and it didn't line up. And it didn't line up precisely the dimension of the Baer adapter bracket at 180 degrees. Shit...
So fuck it, a quick trip to the Home D for some cutting wheels for the grinder (two earlier trips had not managed to get them, but I have a nice new set of ratchet wrenches that were on sale...). Came back and 'fabbed' up the spindle to accommodate the bracket. PERFECT! :

And everything went beautifully for a little bit... Geometry problem solved!

OH! AND VIVA LE DIFFERENCE!

All that was left to do was put the wheel on and go to the other side...
Wheel... does not fit!

So, tomorrow we begin looking for the solution for that unforeseen challenge.

Any ideas?
Another member with a similar problem; using a Brembo caliper, ran into a similar problem and used "Eibach Spacer"
Found these... and $150 beats a new set of wheels. Anyone using these up front?
Or found another solution? Maybe a specific brand of wheels that work?
I hate the idea of changing my wheels, 'cause I love my Centerline rims. But clearly something has to be done. Otherwise it have to pop for another spindle and use the LS pinchers... the one's that came with the spindles I got today looked to be in excellent shape and they're 2001 so... beats the stockers from the '96.
I looked it over this morning and, as is often the case... it was not as bad as it looked last night. 8mm spacer seems to be all it's going to take, plus the longer studs... blah, blah, blah.
Shredding the teeth off your last sawzall blade at 8:45 and Home Depot closes at 9. Talk about a spirited drive.

So, whats there to do in Kansas?
I just happened to stub my toe on a brand new set in my storage yesterday, but they are 15mm. If you end up needed thicker let me know and you can have them for shipping.Quote:
