So I am looking for Wilwood disc brakes kit and they say that we have to use old drum brakes spindles to use their brakes kit .. Okay but if I don't want Ah ? Thug Life or not ahah

I prefer the RideTech 2" Drop Spindles. Are they compatible with this kind of kit ? http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Bra...+Brake+Spindle

yes, those will bolt to the Ridetech spindle. You may need a spacer for the top bolt.

Oh thank you !

I'm looking for an eliminate C-clip system ! It's a real valuable upgrade if I want make decent power ?

So do you advise me the upgrade ?

One more thing, if I want to put these brakes on a freshly rebuild axle without C-clips, will they match ? http://www.summitracing.com/int/part...2964/overview/

The front brake kit will work with either spindle, drum or disc.

The rear brake kit doesn't look to be the right one but that depends on what you do. If you are narrowing the axle, use 9" Ford (torino big bearing) ends and a 2.50" axle offset and then buy the brake kit that corresponds with that.

Ok so

Big housing end from Moser

with this kit

Am I right ?

That brake kit is for the 2.36" axle offset so you would need the axles for that. I would use 2.50" axle offset.

That the think ! Because I don't found any kit with 2.50" offset

Let me look that up for you....on second thought, you can.

www.wilwood.com Search bolt on brake kits by axle flange. There are at least 10 different kits all with options for rotor style/finish and caliper finish.
