I got brakets made ( a couple of times by a few different machine shops nearby.) I used the wilwood calipers since they are 3.5 " mounts. I needed brackets and aluminum spacers to place the caliper in the correct position.
I could not find a rotor with the proper offset for my RKIs so I had to get one with a 1" offset made. It moved the rotor disc as far back as I could ( about 1/4 inch from the lower control arm) I still need to use 2.5 mm spacers for these wheels but just about all oher stock saab wheels will fit.
Of coures the hub centers were a tad too small for my hubs so I had to grind them out to fit.
then I had to get braided brake lines set up. got 16 " but could have used 14 ( next time I change my fluid I may change them out.)
I still have a sample braket and all the measurements so I could get a few more made up. The only problem is the company that made the rotor is out of business so i would need to find another shop and they were not cheap ( more than the calipers)
