not if you cross-reference the part numbers, it's the full dynalite pro brake kit with the aluminum hubs and 10.75" x .81" rotors with the dynalite 4 piston calipers. the part number at hotrodusa and wilwood's website are both 140-2992.

Right. Those have the non-drilled/slotted rotors. For those the p/n on summit is WIL-140-2992-BD, although $100 more. Im getting them and I will install when I go home on leave. Hopefully its a good improvement.
