Hey guys I have a set of st205 rears and I assumed that they would be a bolt on mod for my st184? Upon installing them they seemed pretty tight. Meaning it was really hard to turn the wheel freely. I tried backing out of my garage and it felt like the e brake was on. Also we can rule out the ebrake because the rotors would spin freely until I installed the calipers. I'm fairly certain I installed the brakes correctly including the sheet metal centering ring. I got my brother to send me a picture of the rear end on his 185 and sure enough the rear hubs do not look identical.
TLDR
Has anyone swapped st205 rears on to a 184 or knows what it takes to do so? I spaced the calipers with two washers per bolt just out of curiosity and they seemed to fit perfectly. So if anyone has specs on how many mm I need to space the calipers that would be appreciated. If I can get numbers hopefully I will be able to get some spacers machined.
Thanks for the help
