experience. Below, you will find what comes in the kits and what caliper
makes sense for your application.

It is up to the client to ensure that they have what they should have under their year/model/application. If they are unsure, it is time to send an email with some photos to make sure. The brake kits below require the following;
A DRUM spindle for our brakes to work, not a DISC spindle. If you need a stock height drum spindle or a dropped drum spindle, the PRO's can set you up.
All studs we use are 14mm x 1.50 and we do not supply lug nuts due to wheels taking a specific lug nut for each application. 12mm x 1.50 are available as a special request if you need them for your build. Lug Nut recommendations here.
Also:The
products listed in the section below are complete kits. You will NOT
need anything in addition to what is compiled in these kits. It is now
up to you, to take your time, assemble the parts correctly, and enjoy
the ride quality, the handling and the stance, you have always dreamed
about.
a PRO's Take | Product Advice & Recommendation
"Picture this. You purchased an item from Amazon and you got it in a few days. You use it as intended and it last for 6 months. Guess what? It was more than likely from China. It was cheap, it didn't last, now what? Purchased American Made from a trusted vendor and it will last a long time."
Trust is earned and reputation makes decisions easy. - Airkewld CEO Pete Skiba
