Default Wilwood F&R T/A brakes

Does anyone have the Wilwood 140-9834-D for the front and 140-9830-D for the rear?
The rears are set up for a 10-bolt, but i will be buying a 9" Moser and the factory T/A brakes will bolt right up to the 9" Moser, so why shouldn't the Wilwood? Hoping they would.

Was looking around to do a full big brake job and seems like Wilwood is the only company that offers that for the T/A - that also works with the stock booster and master cylinder.

are you looking for drag brakes or do you have to have a parking brake? the Wilwood brakes will not clear some 15" wheels btw... be careful if this is what you're after.

Believe it or not its a little less than a front brake package of AP brake, and the brembo brakes. Still a pretty penny.

I'm thinking about getting them. They do cost some $$$ but it looks like a complete kit. The stock brakes are marginal once you start hitting 130's in the quarter or on the streets. The down side is the wheel clearence but 15" drag wheels aren't all that. Once you go to the bigger brakes you'll have to replace the spindels to run the stock type brake calps.

There is no cutting involved its a simple bolt-on bracket. Therefore you can switch to the stock brakes.
Also i was going to run my car at the track - but i do not want to install a roll cage because i want to keep the look as stock as possible, so a nice street car/garage queen. Stock looking with the exception of 18s...
