All done I spent about $350. Using the stock spindle, wheel bearing to keep the factory 5x100 bolt pattern. I used 98 Camaro front calipers and saddles, 1/4" plate steel, and 2002 Audi TT front rotors. (12" rotors) I had to modify the spindle and caliper saddle to get the correct fitment. You'll also need centering rings made to keep the rotor centered on the wheel bearing. 5x100 F-Body (2).JPG  Description:  Filesize:  1.81 MB  Viewed:  19 Time(s) 5x100 F-Body (1).JPG  Description:  Filesize:  1.81 MB  Viewed:  19 Time(s) 5x100 F-Body.JPG  Description:  Filesize:  1.81 MB  Viewed:  29 Time(s)

How much to grind off the spindle? I used 12x1.75mm Bolts, 25 & 30mm long, Grade 10.9. 1 1/2" x1/4" 4130 cro-moly 11" long. As far as how much to grind down/off, I'll have to get measurements
