No bolt-on for bigger brakes. Usually the fronts require spindle modification at the very least.

Re: Big brake kit help

I would recommend PM'ing ebmiller and asking him, he is an active member of this forum and it is his company.. IMHO he has done miraculous things in devolping ways to improve our poor GM braking systems. I think that the system you are looking at includes spindles as well, but again, Ed is the one to ask. Good luck.

Re: Big brake kit help

come on guys, no faith in ed? The setup on his site is a kit. Its a complete bolt on deal complete with the modified spindle hoses pads ect. Its all there. Just have to remove your spindle, and bolt this setup on. I believe it comes pre assembled.

I suspect you're correct, but the info on Ed's site never mentions that spindles are included--at least that I could find on a quick search.
