What size rotors are on the kit and are you running stock upper a-arms? Your combo of brakes and wheels looks sweet!

Rotor size
Rotors are 11" Diameter and I 'm running stock upper/lower control arms and still using the Powermaster. This kit was a simple bolt on all you have to do is cut the spindles and your god to go. It did change the offset on the front hub (moved it our 3/8") toward the outer fender.

The Aerospace kits run in odd rotor sizes, you most likely have the 10 3/4" rotor. Are your rims fitting without the 1/2" spacer?

Great kit, with the 2 piece, slotted and drilled rotors that's probably pretty light.

Rims/Rotors fittment
My front wheels fit no problems....I'm not using any spacer on the fronts....They made the front mounting bracket "reversable" so I would not have to run a spacer. My front wheel is 15x4 with 2-1/4 BS.

as far as the rotor size....Im running the Pro street front and rear kit. the rotor size is 11-3/4 .. check out their web site
