The spacing on the brackets are the same though. Look at the two holes that are closer together. They are at the bottom. That's how your bracket goes in. If you do it that way, the highest hole will be on the spindle like LRD told you. You are going to have to trim that bracket to look similar to the one I posted.

Did it look like the bottom ear would be above the ball joint when the bracket is installed? I can't tell from the angle. If so, shave the bracket and you should be good. I really hope it clears because you and I both don't want to run RCAs. I really appreciate you looking into this. I was eventually going to look into it, but my living situation currently prevents from doing so.

If it clears it will be really close. Even if it does I'm not sure how much room that leaves for the caliper to fit. I'm going to try a cardboard copy before cutting into these. If that looks decent I might have some made based on the ones I got from lrd. If this doesn't work I'll have to go with Supra tt brakes.

I just made a copy of my bracket made of foam board and checked the fit. This bracket is not going to fit unless you trim it like I showed above and use a big RCA. A 30 mm may work but the 40mm RCA would probably be preferable so the caliper will clear the castle nut. I can't say for sure if it's a 30 or 40 because I don't have a caliper on hand. The 2gs spindle and steering linkage does not leave a lot of room for caliper brackets.

Been swamped with work and finishing up my Acura but now that its done I can get back to my build. I should have front and rear strut bars, and some visors here in the next few days so hopefully I can get those put on this weekend. Im also contemplating boosting my ge with the aem stand alone until the new year.
