Building my 68 Restomod and want to order the correct Willwood brake setup. I am running a DSE front clip. That part is easy. The rear that came with my car is a small GM 10 bolt. I believe the offset is 2.75. Two questions.....will the Superlite 4piston Willwood kit fit that rear?? If so what part number and if not.....what will fit? Or do I just forget about an ebrake! The car will be an LS3 with an L70E automatic. Never use e brake anyway. I did here of another kit that eliminates drum and shoes for ebrake. Any info on that and any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Odds are that your offset dimension is 2.81" and if that's the case, then to answer your first question, yes, Wilwood offers several Superlite kits for the GM 10/12-bolt c-clip applications.

140-9213 (http://wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdRear.aspx?itemno=140-9213)(-D) Wilwood FNSL4R w/ PB
140-10908 (http://wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdRear.aspx?itemno=140-10908)(-D) Wilwood FNSL4R w/ PB & Staggered Shocks
140-10909 (http://wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdRear.aspx?itemno=140-10909)(-D) Wilwood FNSL4R w/ PB

The parking brake backing plate is integral to the caliper mount on the Wilwood kits, so while you could eliminate the parking brake shoes, you would still need the primary parking brake backing plate to mount the caliper mounts. Maybe Wilwood will chime in, but I'm pretty sure the 10909 used to be a billet Superlite caliper, but is now a forged Superlite...I'm not clear how it differs from the 9213 kit without asking Wilwood.
