If I had the entire spindle, rotors, caliper, etc. could I use the entire setup or do I have to be stuck modifying my spindles.

4th gen spindles are not even close to working on 3rd gen cars.
Here's modded 3rd gen LS spindles (powdercoated)
Here's stock 4th gen LS spindles and hubs

rob you didn't cut off the lower portion of the spindles, so I'm guessing you're running both bolts through the front then? I ran mine opposite of each other, top bolt is from the front and bottom bolt is from the rear, that way the caliper won't have contact issues was my thinking.
