So I went with S10 brakes - the rotors are 1/2" smaller but I didn't consider that an issue for my application. The calipers are much narrower and an added bonus, the e-brake bracket is integral to the backing plate. May not be what you are looking to do but wanted to pass on my experience. -Bob
Thanks, that's something to consider if I can't get this to work. I already have all the parts, really want to use them if I can.
