    Any changes to the current spindle to accommodate the caliper will compromise the integrity of the spindle. Wilwood calipers will be used for now as they have a smaller profile and will allow us to test the spindle itself in off road and on road conditions. While the spindle is being tested Brian will be coming up with a new design for the spindle to use our large stock calipers if all goes well with the wilwoods Brian will make this option available. Price unknown as of now, hoping to install prototype sometime next week.

    That is just going to be an option, but since we have to redesign the spindles to fit the stock calipers on we are just going to throw on a set of wilwoods for now so we can test the spindles to see if anything else needs improving. Brian just wants to make sure nothing is overlooked so when you guys get them everything will be good to go

    the odd thing is that the spindle looks like my penis would fit snugly in the center hole.

    did i just find a $1000 cock ring?

    Couple shocks, some old tires, and a bad paint job
    Watch it there Mr Fancy pants. Not only will it be a better upgrade but it will also be reasonable.

    oh the irony ...

    Stop it ur making me blush ! Lol no doubt a good upgrade but not really nessary for most people. Like for me this is just a temp fix till long travel so say it's 1500 with spindle and breaks... That's half way to LT for me... So not worth it .

    BUT they said they r going to try and make it wrk with stock calipers so I'm still on board ! :)

    And battlescars you are the last person to call me an asshole ... I recall on CT you were a big ass a few times. I may come off as an asshole but this is the Internet and there is no emotion involved .... Also I practice E-thuggery.
