First off, glad you stopped when you did, and that your okay! You said you torqued to spec? that spec was this? I'm not a big fan of spacers, but this is just scary. Sky's IFS hub adapter time?

the ifs hub swap is easy, and you dont need skys overpriced adapter either.

fj rotors are 31 a piece at napa, the studs are 1.93 a piece at same, can get grade 8 fine thread bolts with 2 nylock washers for 10 bucks at fastenal, ifs or v6 rotors can be found for around 30-50 bucks

all in all about 120 bucks, and you end up with new vented rotors, new studs, new brake pads, a smidge wider than 1.5 spacers, and better brakes

if you dont wanna upgrade rotors, or hurting for money, can use solid axle rotor and caliper on he ifs hub, and all you need to buy is the studs, and certain studs fom certain sa axles will actually work also
