I am looking for advice. I was checking out the Wilwood kit = Wilwood
140-2723-B. Is anyone running these? Advice?

Anyone know... could I still run stock 14 wheels? Any factory sway bar issue? What does the 1/2 studs change? What master cylinder and proportion value?

Thanks,

Bought mine from Hot Rods USA, they had best price & also give you an adjustable Wilwood proportioning valve & SS hoses with fittings. You'll need 15" wheels, 14 " will hit the calipers. The hubs come with small & large bolt patterns but I never heard of 15" wheels with SBP so that's a useless feature. They come with 1/2" studs. I used a stock manual disc master cylinder from a 1970 A-body. Sway bar is not an issue. I mounted the proprtioning valve using a fabricated bracket under the drivers seat floorboard. The biggest pain was making all the custom brake lines which is very tedious if you want to make it look professional.
