Well, I picked up my AFX spindles the other day. These things are sweet!
Now I just need to pick up some 17" wheels to clear the C5 brakes. Then or course I need to pick out a set of brakes. I'm thinking Touring Classics. Anyone have an opinion on what I should do? I like the looks of the C6 stuff, but I've heard some not so good things. I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks!

Hub/bearing assembly looks just about like my '80 Cad. Seville rears.

Those are used hubs. None of our hubs have extra holes in them. In the hundreds of sets we have sold, we have only installed 2 used set of hubs.
Look at our supplied hubs:

Brake wise, you really can't go wrong with a set of Touring-Classics, they are only $775 for use with our AFX spindle, and they come with the same 2 piston PBR calipers you'd get from Baer, 13" crossdrilled and reverse slotted rotors, master cylinder, brake lines, and all hardware.
The only wheels to steer clear of are American Racing, and Wheel Vintiques, as they do not offer enough spoke clearance for a C5 brake system.
You are going to love the handling of these spindles. The geometry on these pieces are better than a $7000 aftermarket subframe in the areas of camber gain and bumpsteer, and when coupled with a set of Global West tubular upper control arms, even better caster too.

Those are NOT the hubs that were originaly supplied with the ATS spindle. I would have some concern as to why they were switched by the previous owner.

I checked with Tyler. They were supplied by the previous owner to save a few bucks. The bearings feel good, but I'm thinking I will change them. Does anyone know if the bearings are servicable without replacing the hub?

Looks like I answered my own question. No.

Like I said, they look just like my '80 Cad. Seville rears that I have up on my shelf...

Those hubs are an integrated hub unit. They are not serviceable.
