    They're the same. Go get them before someone else does.

    Grab everything, rotors, spindles and calipers and pads. The rotors,calipers and pads may still be good. I've bought and sold a dozen or more of these and most had good rotors and calipers

    Thats good advise :thumbs2: the car I got mine off of someone had gotten it ready too sell and put new rotors, calipers and pads on it.
    Apparently nobody wanted to pay the $1500 for the 76 monarch that was listed on the for sale sign by the former owner, even after the individual went and paid all the money to get it roadworthy. Car even had brand new tires on it but they were being pulled off the car by another vulture a few min after they took it out too the yard... sometimes it pays too be friends with the employees they give you a heads up when specific cars come in:yahoo:

    Thanks guys and thank god for this forum spindles came off easy didn't have to cut anything but brake lines I even got the brackets that hold the brake flex hose new pads rotors look desent tie rods look good also. Rotors measure 11 inch I also have a 9 in out of a continetal mark5 with disc I'm going to narrow up should be good to go now thanks again for the info.

    The rotors have a minimum thickness dimension cast into them, mic em to see how much meat is left.
