grab the spindle and everything attached including the rubber flex line. Check the bearings for noise before you fork over any serious cash as they are expensive to replace 8)

X2 BUT if you have some good ones then it lends to a C5 front brake and caliper swap i am using them to do my early C6 13in and rotor and caliper swap using a simply made adapter bracket and a little clearing on the spindle arms for the bolts which i have pics of... :wink:

After getting the spindles and control arms powder coated and mocked up still need to get the calipers powdercoated though.

I managed to get a second brake set up for "future" G body project. I payed 40 dollars for the kit it just needs a hub so not too bad IMO.
