    Any of you guys running wilwood brakes systems or just the calipers? I'm leaning toward the Dynalites or Superlites. Hard to beat a 4 piston caliper for that money. Just wondering if anyone has them and their experience with them.

    Will these work on disc brake spindles? The web site list them for drums but I looked at the instuctions and it looks like it will bolt to the holes that holds that the factory dust on.

    i had drum spindles. i dont know what disk spindles look like. i belive that they bolted to 4 3/8s holes in the spindle.
    you should be able to sell the diskbrake spindles and get drum ones for just the cost of shiping.

    Thanks for the input. So needless to say if I put these all around and 13in rotors up front stopping shouldnt be a problem.
