I have a 72 Javelin that I am trying to get on the road.  I already have some lowering plates made and was curious to know if anyone has used any Wilwood brake upgrades with them.  It looks like I may need calipers and rotors and I hate spending money twice, so I am weighing my options.

Thanks,
Billy

I ran wilwoods and lowering plates without issue.  The wilwoods bigger question is what wheels???  14" factory wheels may or may not have a problem.  I have them with 15" american racing wheels no issues.

Thanks BC.  I'm running factory 15" factory Rally's for the moment and I was only looking at running the 12" rotors, which look like they will clear. 

Cheers,
Billy
