So much for my final word. The "new" rotor thickness and "new" brake pad issue is a major factor. WHile I have new pads, I do not have new rotors. I found out that my 11" (actually 10.8") rotors are suppose ot have a 1.0" thickness (The original SVO rotors are 1.1" thick as are the Cobra 13" rotors. Thus, I am not sure the 1/8" spacers will work. My used and turned rotors are .9" thick, which is a 1/10" deficit to factor into my 1/8" wheel spacer. I have to do more measurements now because I did not factor the wheel being that close ot the caliper. It may or ma ynot work. If I can't do this with a 1/8" spacer, I am going to have to consider differne wheels, which I do not want to do. If anyone out there has done the sn95 spindles, 11" rotors and calipers, and kept stock wheels, please let me know what specer you used or what you did to accommodate the factory svo wheels. I am going now to do osme more measuring. Thanks Mike Fleming for saving me from myself with the new brake pad and new rotor issue.

I have measures multiple times with a dial caliper, straight edge, etc. and a 1/8" spacer should work fine. While these calipers are "floating" calipers rather fixed calipers, the floating part of the claiper does not extend past the brace I was originally measuring from and therefore with new rotors, the measurements I had stay the same, if that makes sense. I will know for certain when my spacers come in.
