Brangus Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Has anyone upgraded to the Wilwood 16" (140-8992) brakes with a Beltech 2/2 Spindle drop kit? The Wilwood tech support guy is telling me not to do it. In my mind if the drop spindle will work with the OEM calipers, then the holes are spaced correctly and the offset should be good, so why wouldn’t the Wilwood brackets work? Has anyone pulled this off? Edited October 24, 2019 by Brangus (see edit history) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy91040 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Some spindles are closer to factory mounting specs than others. McGaughy are way different than. Beltech are much closer but not exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnboy92 Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I did it with the 14” rotor I had no issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brangus Posted August 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Yeah, it worked very well without any issues whatsoever. BTW I changed out both the lower and upper balls joints and hub bearing while I had it apart. I used the 16" TC6R Big Brake Truck Front Brake Kit with the Beltech 2" . I have a little bit of tire rub at full right and full left and would love to hear if anyone has come up with a solution. It appears the fender wells are lined with plastic, so I wonder if the material could be sucked up a little tighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
