    Wilwood rear disc help.......

    I haven't, and probably won't. I didn't want a parking brake but they didn't have an 11" rotor kit without one. I was informed that a 12" rotor wouldn't fit my wheels (or it would have been less room than they recommend).

    Wilwood rear disc help.......

    You did. Saw your car & loved the look. More than I wanted to pay for a set of wheels but they are NICE! Plus, there weren't many that I liked that would fit with the Wilwood discs....

    Wilwood rear disc help.......

    Thank you. I got a 5/8" reamer and enlarged the hole and purchased an Irwin 5 piece countersink kit (Lowes - $20) - used the 3/4" bit and slightly chamfered the hole - fits like a glove. Thank you to all that replied! I can do a few things, just need a little (knowledgeable) direction. <><

    Wilwood rear disc help.......

    Yes, the tapered area of the stud (between the knurl and the threads) is too big. I tapped them in a bit and everything lined up. Is enlarging the holes something I should have a machine shop handle? Thank you for your help.

    Wilwood rear disc help.......

    Just got around (could finally scrape enough $ together) to install my Wilwood rear disc kit. Bought the Moser housing & axle package (Trutrac, 33 spline) - upon installing the caliper, I notice that without any shims installed, the caliper can't center on the rotor (outboard pad is too tight)...

    Wilwood Low Profile Disc Brake Kit Help....

    I'm installing a Moser fab 8.75 housing and axle package. I have the SS springs with Dr. Diffs offset hangers and poly bushings. Right now, with the snap ring against the housing end, I have about 3/16" between the tire and leaf spring (Weld S71 with Mickey 255 60 R15 ET Radials) and about 3/4"...

    Wilwood Low Profile Disc Brake Kit Help....

    Thank you. I read that but really wanted some input from someone running them. I had emailed Wilwood but no reply. So basically, the only outward increase is from the rotor thickness - .18" correct. Thank you for your input. The kit is $650 w/o lines & I just wanted to be sure. BTW - how do you...

    Wilwood Low Profile Disc Brake Kit Help....

    Hello to all. Getting ready to order my rear disc brakes and I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the Wilwood install instructions. I'm trying to determine how far outward the brakes will push the wheel. From what I can gather, it appears that the snap ring goes against the rear end housing...
