How to Modify spindles for C5 Upgrade?
I just finished doing the c5 upgrade for the rear, but now I need to move to the front. I ve searched for hours and I cannot find the info on how to modify the spindles. Does any body have a link saved on how to do it?. THanks

Cut off the ears that used to hold the old single piston iron caliper with a Sawzall (6 TPI bi metal blade works great), leaving the 2 mounting pads that used to hold the dust shield. Drill/Tap those holes for whatever size bolt you plan on using to attach the adapter bracket to the spindle. I used 7/16-14, and gradually stepped up to a "U" size drill for 75% thread strength. It took about 2 hours on the car yesterday.
Edit - This might help (from Nape, one of the FRRAX guys...)
