I didn't do mine yet. I will take photos and may do a write up as well.

I have mine still in the box. Was trying to come up with a before and after drag assessment test.

I am looking to install mine the weekend of March 18th and will take pictures and try to determine a drag assessment test for them.

Mine are still boxed too. I'll probably put them on with the new rotors. I was thinking, probably better not to use the spacer on brand new bearings, as the bearings tend to wear in a bit at first and need a re-adjustment. Either way, I was going to install without the grease seal and set to zero to .002 end play, then re-assemble. Welcome any opinions.

I finally got around to installing mine today. I am using them on my 67 1600 Vintage race car project. I cleaned, blasted and painted the hub and then installed the DBA rotors. The measurements were done in inches as I forgot to mention that on the video. Enjoy the video and ask any questions you might have.

Nice work. I keep forgetting I bought a set and have yet to install mine.
