The modification for the front brakes is easy....just remove the spindles (up rites) and cut off the existing brake mount points, using a hack saw or band saw....finish off with a grinder. Also drill out the backing plate holes and retap...no big deal. The rear is a bit more difficult...need to turn down some parts in a lath...but not hard. I developed this package with ERA several years ago and used my 427 as a test donkey. 12" rotors front and rear and Wilwood calipers make the car stop better when racing...but do little on the street but lighten your back pocket. If you are just driving the car on the street there is no reason other than "I just want to" (some times the best reason). For racing make sure and add braided lines and cooling ducts front and rear. The front should go to both the center of the rotor and caliper. The rear can be from under the car or from the cockpit as on "a427sc's car....but that's almost as ughly as Cheeks himself, but does work better. Without ducts...you can still fade the brakes after a few hot laps.
Hope this helps
