ls-1 front bracket
so ive done much reading and searches and came up with 3 different thicknesses for the calliper mounting brackett that has to be fabbed up. I just wanted to know what thickness is concidered to be the best 3/8 , 1/2 , 5/8 sorry if this has been covered somewhere but i did search and i did read for like 6 hours, even that damn long 8 page thread.

5/16" actually. On some spindles 3/8" is perfect, on some it's too thick. Use 5/16" just to be safe.
