I bought some spacers and the disc with ten holes in it and the extended bolts. I have no idea how to get these in. The extended bolts are not long enough to replace the bolts currently in my hub and still fit both spacer and rim. And if i stick the extended bolt into the spacer, there is no grip or anything to keep it from spinning. Not to mention it looks like i would need an extra set of lug nuts to get them in that way... anybody know what i should do?

Did you get a set with bolts or studs (bolts you screw into the hub, studs you replace in the hub)? I always thought that 6gc has only option of studs.

the extended studs replace the existing studs on your car. you need to remove a few things in order to get to them. the actual spacer piece is installed in front of the rotor and isnt fastened any way.
how thick are the spacers? you can buy h&R racing studs to fit the spacer you have. This post has been edited by Jdog1385: Dec 22, 2006 - 11:08 AM |

i have 15mm for the front and 20mm for the rear. They came with extended studs. Which would mean I'm to replace my stock studs with these ones? they barely seem any longer... maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. anyways, is there a guide out there that shows you how to replace stock studs on a '94 ST?

Yes you have to replace your old studs. Remove your rims/brake calipers/rotors and then use a hammer to punch to old ones out. Then use a 20mm 1/2" socket reversed with a lug nut to pull the new/longer stud into the hub.
Just like done in the next picture. PS the breakerbar is there so you can apply force on a wrench when pulling the stud in, without turning the hub itself, requires a bit of strength. My arms hurt for 2 days when I did all 4 corners in about 30 minutes

To be honest, I did not get that idea by myself. In my search for easy installation of ST205 brakes I came across the next link
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/r1biker/205brakesonst185.html This was also the time I needed to install my spacers so I put his ideas to good use ,
