No need to PM him. Just let him know that you have the small hub conversion and they'll machine the hole out for them. Press out your existing wheel studs and re-use them with the new rotors.

Right now there are 3 iterations of the same kit based on the 4.5 bolt circle and 15" rims.

Mid 99 and down unitbearing
Mid 99 and up unitbearing
Small hub conversion

They all share the same parts with only the spacers to put the caliper bracket in the correct plane relative to the rotor varying in height and then the correct length bolts that correspond to the various spacings.

What I actually said about the 5.5 kit is until there is enough interest expressed from committed buyers, it's not likely to happen anytime soon. It will happen, it's just not economically viable yet.

Ok. So those spacers between the knuckle and the caliper bracket are how you dealt with the height difference rather than spacers under the rotor that I saw mentioned previously?

Yep, much better solution. We had to go back to the drawing board for a minute and start with the unitbearing that had the shallowest depth and machine all the knuckles to that height. Then it was just a matter of varying the the spacer height to put the caliper bracket where it needs to be.

I have these on my '93
Off a ford, cost $18 for the brakes and like $40 for the brake mounts, etc.
They work GREAT on trail, on pavement, I really don't notice it so much.
Yes...I know they are blue...
