Looks great!

Is that the Strano Willwood kit?

Looks good!

Sam's kit is pretty awesome. We are happy he included UMI brackets. Matter of fact, we actually buy all our brake pads from him as there is no one that tests more thoroughly. First set is always perfect for the application.

Interesting thread, I was not aware there was a bolt-on Wilwood 4-piston caliper for the C5/C6 setup. I have been running C5 brakes since the original Bob Bishop C5 brackets were being made. I have been looking for some 4 pot caliper upgrades, and I think this may be it, since they'll bolt right up to my existing brackets.

Bumping an old thread but getting ready to do this same conversion tomorrow. What did you use to cut the spindle. I have a sawzall with a carbide tooth metal blade and also a mini grinder and cut off wheels. Looking to use the best option for clean cut and minimal sparks/mess.
