What size rotors does it have and what size rim is required? Do you allready have factory discs on the car? I will be looking for a brake kit soon and will be anxious to hear how you like this set up.

yes please keep us give us an update when you get it done. I hope to be looking at some kits soon.

Those look about 13 inch rotor so im guessing a 17 inch rim to clear it.If you want any billet parts for it look at Eddie Motorsports: High Performance and Specialty Automotive Hardware

According to their website you only need a 15 in rim. I have drum brakes on the car now so this is a bolt on kit. If you have factory disc brakes you have to drill holes into something( I do not remember what the instructions said I can look when I get home). I ordered everything from summit racing with new flex lines, proportioning valve and brake fluid it was $ 855 shipped after I used a 10% off coupon.

The price sounds pretty inviting. I am looking forward to hearing about the final results.

Just got done with the install it was not that bad I took a few hours everything bolted up right untill i tried to put the wheel back on and it did not fit. I taught the stock wheels were 15's but they are 14's. So tommorow I will get to buy some new wheels and tires( I wanted to do that anyway). The brake light is on it says in the instructions that the master cylinder may be to small is some cars. I may have to buy a new one but I going to try bleading the brakes again before that.

How much of an offset did that kit add to the car? I had purchased a Wilwood kit for my '70 and when I got it I discovered that it would add 3/4" offset to both sides! I have 17x8 rims on my car and there is no way they would fit inside the fender with that much of an added offset.

I ordered 17 inch wheels and bfg tires they will be here tuesday. The person at the tires store figured out the backspacing ordered the back 1 inch different than the front .I am still having master cyl issues any suggestions for what kind of new one I should buy?

I am still having issues with the brakes going to the floor and having to pump them to get them to work I am going to have to order a new master cylinder I just have no clue what to order and sugesstions?

my guess would be to call wilwood and ask them

[andrewmp6]

Did you safety wire the rotor to the hub?Try talking to ABS Power Brake, Inc. tell them you need a bigger bore master cylinder then what you have stock they should take care of you.I do know there electric master cylinder will work tho.

I order a new master cyl for front disc rear drum so maybe that will work. I got new american racing 17x7 wheels on the front and 17x8 wheels on the back put on today here are a few pics.

The rims look great on the car. I really like the blue it compliments the lines of the car nicely.

My master cylinder will be here today and I am going to install it and the wilwood portioning valve. Does anyone know if I will need any brake lines other parts to install the valve or know where a install write up is on a portioning valve is for a 71.
