Originally posted by Shaggy: Oh, a FYI for everyone contemplating the FSVT swap, I would go ahead and order 4x W500443-S426. Those are the longer mounting bolts I used to mount the calipers to the hub. You don't really need them as the OE bolts are long enough, I'm just really anal and wanted a 3mm longer bolt to take the place of the almost 3mm washer put in between the hub and caliper.
Edit: Of course, a big thanks goes to Brian for finding the correct part numbers and Bill J. for finding them in the catalog, as they had to be cross-referenced a wacky way!
Chris,
I'm not sure what you mean about a 3mm longer bolt taking the place of the almost 3mm washer put between the hub and caliper. Are you saying you can get rid of the spacers/washers by using longer bolts? I'm having a hard time seeing how that works. Also would pads for the latest model CSVT brakes fit with the FSVT calipers? If so, I can go ahead and get some Bendix Titanium pads for the CSVT since they're not made yet for the FSVT.
Thanks,
George
