Reply to "big brakes"

I went with the big wilwoods.They cleared my 15' aftermarket wheels(Prime),but you should always check your wheels because brands vary. they mount on the inside of the hub so your offset wont change.one thing you do want to do is get a bigger master cyl. with a good size reservoir because the calipers require more fluid than the stock ones(especially the rear!were those things off a vw bug or something?).You will need a press to pull the hubs off the rear axles and be very carefull when you do this as the rear bearing retainers are not the strongest things in the world.As you press the axles use a rubber coated dead blow hammer,not a regular metal hammer,hammer on the uprights to help shock the axle free if its rusted to the bearings.The big brakes are definetly worth it,i bruised my shoulder on the seat belt testing them!I feel much safer in the car now.Hope this helps with the decision process.
