Looks like a nice kit. I would definitely have spindle envy. Those baby's are hot.

I have a 77 t/a with
stock but modded spindles
3rd gen f body hubs
C5 rotors
4th gen f body calipers

The kit is a starting point but as the saying goes the devil is in the details.

Does this kit change the track width of the front wheels?

Also if it uses a vette hub that means the studs are probably metric like a 12mm x 1.5 for instance. So your lugs will no longer fit. You could run metric lugs but will they match the rear and is that important to you? Not impossible to swap out studs but not as simple as beating the old out and putting the new ones in either since they are difference sizes.

Also plumbing. An adj proportioning vavle possible new master and so on have to be considered also.

Just examples at how fine the details get just to bolt the wheels back on. Having different lug nuts front to rear would have bothered me.

Either way you go the details are the killers. The kit looks like a good starting point though.
