Is The Distance Supposed To Be Even On Both Sides? I Cant Get The Pads In on One Side Because Theres Not Enough Room. I am Using Cpp Drop Spindles and Brackets With Stock Calipers.. Thanks

Not sure about that one. The CPP kit I just put on don’t look like that one. Is the back of your rotor hitting the spindle? Or is that just the angle of the picture?

The Spindles I Got Are For a 87 suburban. I Swapped Front Ends. Just Not Ste If The Calipers Supposed To Be Centered to The Rotor.

I did some Research and My Brackets Are on Backwards

Looks to me like the caliper should be on the oustide of the gold bracket.

It is...

How the heck will the brackets on backwards fix this? Unless it mounts the bracket on the other side of the spindle mounting points (which it cannot).

And when you saw "stock" calipers, do you mean for the truck this is on, or for the 87 suburban?

Post pictures of what was wrong.

Hey Guys If You Notice The Brackets Have a Bend In Them.. The Instructions i Found on The Internet Said The Bend In Them Should be pointed Outwards. Not Inwards Like i Had Them.. Now That I Flipped The Bracket The Calipers Are Centered to The Rotor.
