Thanks guys, after checking with a few different places I found Frank @ prodigycustoms to have them all beat hands down. Wasn't even close.
Anyone that needs a set of Wilwoods, give Franky a call!!
Thanks again.

Really? Thats kinda odd cause Frank doesnt have any price break over say hotrodsusa. Dealer pricing from the manufacture is pretty much set in stone. Volume is what determines the price sheet they get from the manufacture. And hotrodsusa has a high volume and just as equal pricing that Frank does. I shopped them both.
Now the crutch in the mix. Hotrods had zero offset brake packages on their website. I wasnt sure if Frank could piece together the parts for my car for a zero offset without alot more work from me. I figured the pricing was gonna be the same so I went with hotrods cause they already had all the parts lined up for a zero offset brake for my car. It just made it easier. I thought.
I still had to do my own adjustments cause the "kit" supplied from wilwood, or the kit he made up was NOT zero offset.
So I learned something. Custom setups are just that and expect to have to figure some work arounds. Not a big deal for me, I have milling machines and lathes. I can make it work. But it was disappointing to get a "kit" that wasnt as it should have been. No such thing as a custom bolt in product.
If it was a guy without some machines he would have had to send it all back or pay a machinist to make it work.
And I have to add. Im a solid supporter of Frank and ALL that he has given as far as helpful info (freebie) and time to me for other parts of the car.
And he does have high volume pricing discounts so I will give a nod to him if someone was looking to buy the products he has to offer. And lesson learned for me. Just cause its not on his site doesnt mean he cant provide it at a rock bottom price, his dealer sheets are prolly pretty varied, he prolly has some great prices on manufactures products that are not even on his site. Thats where a phone call is needed, you might be surprised with the entire line he can provide.
And in closing, Hot Rods USA is another great source for parts, even with the issues they were ready to send out parts (freebie) just to make it right, gotta love that. JR
