Hey all,
I'm posting this here, cause it's tech for my Jeep. I ordered a set of Raybestos Brutestop rotors for my '01 Cherokee and went to install them on Saturday. I come to find out though, in mid-99, Jeep switched from composite rotors to cast rotors. The composite rotors measure 3 3/16" tall. The cast rotors are 3 1/16", and of course the Brutestops are made to the taller spec. That's a difference of 1/8". Does anyone think I could run a 1/8" spacer in between the hub and the backside of the rotor to make up the difference, then bolt the wheel on as normal? How safe are those spacers?
