Is anyone else running rear mount 11.75" rotors with slider calipers on an A-body with Hotchkis upper control arms? I assembled the passenger side today and turned the wheel to check clearance and found that the retaining clip hits the UCA when you get anywhere near ride height.

I haven't looked into trimming the clip yet, as I have some spares. I'd rather not swap the spindles side to side if I don't have to (would likely have to change calipers and hoses)...but I probably could since I'm going to use the Hotchkis sway bar.

Here's a photo with the suspension drooped:





I know they don't work with pin type with 11 3/4" disks. We had to move them to the front on my A-body.

I don't know if they work with 10 3/4" disk setup pin or slider?

These two pics are with the LCA jacked to max bump spot compression to check for clearance.





So you need to swap the spindles side to side to get caliper to UCA distance
