What size Spindle.

I'm in the process of ordering some 2 1/2 drop spindles. Here are the specs of my rotors. Do I order spindles for the 1 inch thick rotor or not? Thanks a ahead

Well those rotors are the 1" variety so if that's what you're using then you should be good. I'd definitely just measure the ones on the vehicle to be sure

Re: What size Spindle.

The hub snout on the 1" rotors fit behind the center caps of aftermarket wheels much easier. I usually swap everything out to 1" rotors if Im buying spindles. If thats something you're interested in in the future, it may save you a headache later...
