96+ cars have a slightly different spindles, so you don't have to do anything to them. 95 and older cars are the ones which get piston interference.

i have a 1996 GT and have had to shave the spindle ear to utilize these units. please please adhere to instructions. the spindle ears contact the calipers. it prevents slide travel and bolting on.

I had to grind the ears on my 96 as well. It doesnt take much to get te clearance you need, just make sure you have proper clearance for the caliper to freely move. I also had to to use the 99-04 hose on one side and was able to use my stock hose on the other, dont remember which side was which though.
