Wilwood Calipers on Stock Rotors

i have a 1959 euro bug on a 74 irs pan i was planning on doing a full disc brake conversion of course and i have recently been thinking of using a wilwood caliper. i was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this in the past i figured which to use for the front. its the same one that airkewld uses on the bad brake kits(dynalite single). i am unsure on what to use for the back of course i am going to need an ebrake. i know that i have to fab up brackets shouldnt be that difficult at all just time consuming but that i am ok with of course. well just wanted to see if anyone had any input any help would be appreciated thanks

A week from Memorial Day Monday I will be sending off a 4 piston Wilwood Dynalite caliper and 12" rotor to Lanner. He'll be developing an adapter and custom hub setup for the front for me. Once he's done he'll be able to make more if anyone is interested.

Search for posts by Volkdent if you would like to know more about the car, its not easily summed up.
