Re: drop spindles

If that's the only thing you're trying to determine, it's just the thickness. Measure at any point along the outside. You should even be able to eyeball it pretty easily.

Re: drop spindles

I bought drop spindles for 1.25 inch rotors to upgrade the brakes on my C10. If you do go that route you'll need the matching calipers.

Re: drop spindles

my 87 silverado had 1.25 rotors. DJM spindles were the cheapest, that I could trust, that I could find. Free shipping if you buy from summit. I bought a BUNCH of stuff from them recently.
