That's a first, I never ran into that issue!..........I'm currently waiting
on a set to arrive for my 01' right now.
I ordered a set of the "Street Legal" Powder Coated calipers and they've
been correct on those, but they sent the wrong color and a damaged set.
Just waiting to get the correct color sent in.....
