Default Anyone Have Pics (or Advice) on Grinding FRONT Calipers?

Finished up the rear. At some point, I'll want to do the fronts to eliminate the spacer.

Any help would be great! More or less grinding than the rears to run 15x3.5 draglites?

Thanks!

Really the biggest part will be the sides of the caliper. The part that faces you, where as the rears you grind the edges mostly.

Plan on doing a TON of grinding. You thought the rears were bad. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Thanks guys!

So does this sound right?
- Take about 5/16th's off the side face
- No need to grind the fins
- Slightly grind the edges
- Do the caliper brackets (on either side of the caliper) need to be to be ground? If so, is it the same as the caliper, side face only??

Thanks!!!!
