swapping brake rotors
« on: Oct 26, 2008, 02:50:47 PM »
When you guys change the old solid rotors to vented do you reuse the old wheel studs or get new ones? Is there any reason to get longer ones for running spacers?

Depends on the spacers.

Get the ones with their own wheels studs, no need to get longer wheel studs for the hub.




Wouldn't recommend the spaces that don't have their own studs.

Guess I didn't take into consideration the other type of spacers.
