Wilwoods behind Ronal Firehawks?
Anyone running Spohns Wilwood big brake kit behind Ronals? I think I remember one person here who had the parts but did not swap them yet. I am curious about caliper clearance and if the spacers are still needed.
Thanks!
Thanks!

That may have been me. Unfortunately, I have almost everything lined up (except for some powdercoating issues), but I just had spinal fusion for my neck to fix a herniated disk, so I'm out of the garage for a couple months. I spent my time grinding some junkyard spindles and got them powdercoated red. They are sweet! The only thing I wished I'd done was weld the third dust shield hole shut. They turned out so well that I'm planning to do the Wilwood calipers next. I'm going to grind off the name "Wilwood", though. I like everything to look as clean as possible. The calipers are massive, so people don't need to see the Wilwood name to know that my car means business.

I almost forgot, though. I emailed Steve Spohn and he said it will all fit. However, I still needed to make .100 spacers to clear my aftermarket tie rods. If there's anything that I can actually help with, email me.
