Nah, each set, the rears are about $100 less. I am going to grind off the Wilwood ( don't think it goes with my whole Saab is awesome theme.)I am going to powder coat them and have a SAAB logo put on. ( Aero wqoudl be cool too but My car is a Linear ummm, that might be cool to put on, will really confuse people, I think I will look to see how that come out. If you want email me and I can show you what it will look like ( it is on a PDF and I can't get the image hosted.) I might have the whole set up ( fronts only) together this weekend. which will be good, I am taking the car to Jak Stoll next week for some of his magic.

You are right it was a bear ( probably why not many people go through the trouble.) Had to get a hub assembly to set it up right. There is a bit of a problem with the inboard side of the rotor, the actual ball joint is
inside the rotor eye diameter. I could have chosen a smaller Diameter rotor but think the car will look awesome with the 13". However, I did not want to push the rotor further inboard due to the control arm. The lower control arm is a formed sheet steel piece. The small bent sides look like they may come into contact with the rotor when turning very hard. I am not sure if it will hit or not. From the measurements, the wheel can turn around 45-48 degrees before the control arm hits it. Generally the angle of the tire at the steering lock is not that far. I checeked and I don't think the wheel turns more than about 35 degrees. (I believe alignment shops use twenty degrees of travel.) This will only be an issue when turning very hard at very slow speeds, if there is any interference at all. I will need to check the steering limits when installing everything. In the worst case-scenario, the control arm may need to be clearanced. However this should be slight if at all.

good louck with your search. If this come out OK I'll get on here and recommend the shop I am working with.
