My wilwood disc brakes kit arrived today! So tomorrow I'll begin putting my disc brakes on (4 wheel discs.) I'll let you all know how it goes.

Will do. The kit I've got for the rear is not a wilwood (it's a conversion from another car) so I won't bother with it. Also, i didn't get cross drilled/slotted rotors ( I don't need them, and I got a steal on the kit so I figure that I can upgrade later.)

Have fune doing the safety wireing

BTW, pay special attention to the tourque designations when assembling the rotor adaptor plate to the rotor. Those bolts are tourqued in INCH lbs, NOT foot lbs

I made that mistake once on my valve cover.

I can be soo stupid sometimes! Just wanted to get done, wasn't thinking carefully.

If there are 3 things I know alot about it is safety wiring, cotter keying, and torquing. At least here (unlike when I'm at the base working on Helo's) I don't have to have anyone but me inspect it.

Sides, safety wiring is EASY!
