Drivers side rear installed...1 down 3 to go...I started dismantling this morning and I gotta tell ya it's not that bad. Started with the recommended amount of shims on the bracket and caliper mount per Wilwood instruction manual. I ended up removing one shim from the caliper mount and non on the bracket. Everything lined up right. Now just need to use Loctite 271, torque down the caliper bolts, torque down caliper nuts, install brake line, and do the same for the other side. I could've been done earlier if it were not for the fact that I'm so **** and used a micrometer to measure clearances. Pictures are test fits. I'll post more when I do the tear down and re-torque them.

These kits are an exceptional value for the Corvette owner. Their great looks combine with a significant increase in rotor mass and great tactical feel to inspire driving confidence. From the street to the track. If you've been considering a BBK this thread should help push you over the edge!
