I am finishing up my wilwood install. The drivers side i was able to get within less than .01 (its about .007), so i figured that would be close enough. But, on the passenger side the caliper has about .03" difference from inside and outside. Is that close enough?

The more time you take now to center them the better. It will save you headaches now and forever more.

0.030" isnt too bad... but... you will want to get both side equal if you can. It will help with pad wear issues between both sides. You really want to get the number around 0.005"-0.007" max...

Essex parts makes a shim kit for $10 to handle this problem.

Thanks for the info. Time to get back to work on that passengers side.

I checked their website and could not find a shim kit. Do you have a part#??

Thanks
