I have talked to Wilwood several times over the last couple of weeks and they are consistently against a 4 piston non floating caliper on the rear of a c-clip trans am. so I went ahead and installed the D154.

Here is the video. The first part of the video explains the problem. The second half of the video shows the solution.

HI, I posted a comment on you tube, should have asked here. The spring rubber below the spring is huge!. Factory spring plates are almost touching the spring mount on the axle. I would think this would make you have to purchase longer shocks, and the center bolt may not come close to inside the plate? I am not familiar with this set up, but I do run rear discs on my early second Gen. Just an observation...
