Im looking for a shop that could modify my spindle and make me a hub and brake bracket for some 5th gen brakes. Around Los Angeles would be much better

i think he needs this for a third gen.
on our cars we have to modify our spindle, tap and drill onto the oem spindle. machine down a rotor for a hub assembly, longer studs, custom caliper brackets, hardware etc etc

i paid a good amount of $$ for my ctsv brembo which was a complete all new kit. idk of anyone nearby who does the work.
but my brother did his conversion him self but he bought all individual parts needed for the conversion. came out cheaper

Wait how much do you machine down a rotor assembly? There is a certain amount you can machine a rotor down to, if you do anymore you are just plain stupid. I do not know the measurements off the top of my head but seriously? You would rather machine down a rotor instead of buying the correct brake setup? I am sure someone makes a brake upgrade for third gens.

you used a stock 82-92 rotor to be machined down into a hub.
like i said i bought my kit new since they sell kits for thirdgens.

What they do is cut of all the rotor surface and only leave the center and machine it in a taper that way it looks like a hub just like fourth gens have.

SickRs, I might have the correct drill and tap to modify the spindles if you are going C5. I think the V setups use different threaded bolts?
