If you are doing it correctly, with factory parts, you use factory disc spindles.

long story i had purchased all the factory parts to convert to disk drakes. I recently disassembled all components of the frame to have everything resanded and repainted.

i am in the midst of reassembling everything on the frame and was only asking because i noticed that the steering knuckle if turned to much can touch the lower control arm.

thanks
