Guys,

I am about to purchase some nice brakes for my Chevelle, but I have a question regarding dropped spindles. The dropped spindles I have are supposed to accept original stye braking components. I have looked on the Wilwood site and they have some for the "Superior" 2" dropped spindles and of course some for standard spindles. I assume I need the ones for the standard spindles right? I guess the Superior spindles have a little different geometry? I don't know. I just dont want to order the wrong ones...

Thanks.

Also, anyone have a better brake suggestion? I am going with them for my 9" Ford rear end as well for discs.

Matt you just need the wilwood kit for disc style spindles. I am a dealer for both Wilwood and Baer brakes. I can save you a significant amount of money on either kit. What size rotor and caliper are you looking for. PM me or Call me for pricing or questions. The prices are too low to advertise.
