They can be mounted the front it says in there instructions in some instances. It also says that they may fowl depending on your individual car. I tried them from the front and they wouldnt fit so i had to unbolt the stubs again and change them around they now fit from the rear with no probs.

Yes he did but who reads those anyway
I'd prefer them on the front myself but if you have clearance issues put them on the back Clint

You dont read instructions when you know what your doing, if you cant work it out then read the instructions :rockon:

Pretty sure with hoppers kit you swap stubs from left to right, calipers are on backside.

On my LH I'm using a UC cross-member, HQ discs, Rod-Tech conversion kit with LC drum stubs and HZ style calipers. The calipers are on the rear of the disc, no clearance problems. HZ Calipers have to go on the rear due to the direction the std hole for the flexible line.
