    Hi guys,

    Has anyone had the problem of the top bolt on the back of the brake calipre hitting the upper control arm?
    I have intalled my belltech spindles and the turning is very limited befor the bolt hits the upper arm. Im sure there must be an easy solution to this but cant seem to find the answer.

    Only thing I can think of is trying to get a pair of tubular arms like the "CanDo" ones? but they seem expensive + im only planning on static drop, and they hard to get hold of.

    The tubular a arms are very good , you can than ultimate the strut bars & if you bag it ( and you will at some time), you will be all good!!

    Ok so for a quick solution im just going to order the usa spec calipers from summit. Could you let me know if you guys have caliper casting 17S or F18Q on your trucks? Should be stamped on the back of it.
