Ok, finally doing it, switching to my PBR calipers and 93 spindles..Any advice?

Ok, it is time. I have accumulated all the parts I think I need. I have the 93 spindles, 99 Mustang GT PBR calipers in great working shape, semi metallic brake pads, turned factory 93 rotors, new Raybestos front brake lines for left and right, new 93-up sway bar end links. I also have front lower control arms (TRW) with new ball joints and good bushings. Short of grinding the bit off the spindle to allow for more clearance for the calipers, is there anything else I should know or collect before I proceed? I want to make sure this goes as smooth as I can. Also, will my ABS still work? It does now, and works well.

Thanks in advance.

Don't grind down the spindle, grind down the caliper to clear the spindle, that way you aren't weakening the strength of the spindle. And you can use your current abs sensors in the new spindles... if you can sucessfully remove them that is... They don't cover the full ring on the hub, but they cover enough of it to still work properly. I found a few tech articles that helped me when I did the swap...
