    I'm sure people do, but the proportioning will be off.  I found the topic I was looking for, post 12 and 21 have the info.

      I think tire sizes are much more of a safety issue on this build than brake bias...;-)

          Also with 330 brakes you do not need different knuckles.  Just bolt on rotors and calipers/brackets.  Not trying to tell you what to do, just letting you know what I did.

              Very true, are you going to use a proportioning valve?

                Not sure. I have even been tossing around the idea to toss out the master and booster and just installing a Tilton pedal box to further clean up the bay.

                  then close a stock hood on top of all that hard work.

                          I can see that, if you kept the washers, you'd see the hoses going to them through the clear hood.  That wouldn't look very clean.

                                  I have been trying to figure out what these are. Looks like a suspension part but I am not sure.

                                        Ordered UUC Motorwerks poly trans mounts and got the enforcer cups for free with their black friday sale. I ordered the front subframe reinforcement kit from AKG too=)
