Question Front GTS Caliper upgrade question

Hey guys, i cant find anything under search so id figure id post this. im getting my front suspension back together and before i get my hubs on, im wondering this.....

are these bolts sticking out to far? its just so much easier to take the adapters on and off with the hub off.

Something looks wrong, the adapter should bolt on the other side of the hub, unless I'm missing something and yes the bolts are too long

It looks like the adapter should be on the back side of the spindle not the front. That way the bolts would be running in the other direction

Isn't the spindle threaded and not the adapter? Can't remember when I did my conversion.

You have them on right. I just did this conversion search S4 upgrade I have pics and the part numbers for shorter metric bolts from advanced auto. Those will clear the rotors anyway though.
