    Wisefab spindles and STI hub/brake conversion

    Well this is starting to become a headache.

    All I wanted was sti hubs and brakes. Then I saw Wisefab has spindles for lowered geometry correction. Super, buy the stuff, everything fits right? Nope.

    Step one, buy all new sti bearing and hubs for the rear. Buy new parking brake backing plates and hack then up.

    Then find out the strut suspension adapters interfere with the wisefab spindle...

    Slot spindle to fit. Take to welder and have welded together.....I'll keep you all updated.....

    update....
    I couldn't find a way to make "cheap" axles, so I ordered Drive Shaft shope ones... eta, soon...

    rear spindles were a pain in the tush as in my first post, but they are on, and sti brakes are mounted. just need driveshafts...

    How much are they these days?

    I'm still rocking my original ones but I've heard of enough of these breaking that I should probably get a spare on hand before supply dries up.
