Where did you buy your suspension parts?

Techno Toy Tuning, aka T3

Am I seeing this right, that four M6's are all that's locating that caliper bracket, or did they drill and tap those splash shield holes for a larger fastener? Have you test fit the hub, seems like there's not a lot of clearance behind the oil seal, and I'd be sure that the hub doesn't touch that caliper bracket.

I see that you do have a picture with the hub, so I guess it fits. But what about the FHCS's, were they enlarged, maybe M8's or M10's?

I'm with you Brad, I sure hope he enlarged those dust shield holes for that caliper bracket, that's very dangerous if he didn't. Just take a look at how beefy those stock caliper mounts are on the front side of the strut.....that should tell you that 4 M6's are not enough. The allen head holes look very small too, no way to really get them tight enough. You'd break the allen wrench trying to torque those down tight enough.

No allen wrenches were harmed in the making of this film.
The strut housing and subsequently the caliper adapter brackets have been modified to accept 3/8-24x3/4" thread. I do not remember off hand what I torqued them too, I'd have to look in my notes when I get home.
The hub seals clear.
I do not particularly like the brackets(front or rear), but am going to run them for now. I am thinking I might actually want to run nissan calipers, but for now, I have these.
