What is the application?  Drag race, autocross, road race, street driving, etc?  Lots of brake options out there.  What size rim?  The big brakes need 17 or 18 inch rims to clear.

What would be cool would be to have the dual 4.5 and 4.75 BP and then use a draglite wheel and all 10 lugs! That would get some attention at a car show. lol bash

 Hey Andy, how did you mount the Porsche brakes and are they on the front only or both front and rear?

dustertogo - I made up some custom hubs and caliper brackets to hang the Porsche brakes up front.  I just use stock drums on the rear.  I might put some discs on the rear some day but I haven't gotten around to it.

I am using Willwood 4-pot front and rear, they seem great and judging from how many of you are using them, It seems they are.

They come with 4" and 4 1/2" bolt pattern. Then just punch out which ever ones you dont use.
