:nice: Nice mods you got there. I'm very interested on how easy or hard it is to install the Wilwood brakes. I've heard that the rears are a PITA to install. Thanks

Thanks, I installed through professional shop. They did the fronts with their eyes closed, but the rears were time consuming and complicated a bit as they had to pull the axels out to install them. it took them about 10 hours to do the rears and to make very sure its good to go!! but definitely worth it!!

Nice upgrades.
I am interested in the slotted/drilled rotors as well. BUT,....10 hours install,....:fear:
Why is that? Because it's a two piece and the hat sizes are different?

Again, very nicely done. I too am interested in hearing more about your Wilwoods. How do you like their stopping power compared to stock?

thanks, I don't have that much of experience, but I believe they had to take the axles out and modify them a bit for the rear brakes fit. They are not same as stock, they are drum brakes. They took their time installing to insure a perfect install process.
