    How thick is the spacer? What length are the A-arms?

    Mike, the spacers are .335" (just over 5/16") thick. The A-arms measure roughly 12.750" from ball joint center to heim joint center.

    Thanks, are the arms shortened? I'm just trying to figure out how your able to use the 4 piston pro street brakes and still needed spacers. Most I thought had a hard time from keeping the wheels from sticking out.

    Mike, my control arms have adjustable heim ends. I believe stock fox body arms are 13" center to center length. Mine are adjusted .250" shorter. The wheel spacer is used so the back of wheel will clear the front face of caliper. The caliper is wider than a drag brake caliper to accommodate the wider vented pro street rotor. The caliper has a spacer between the front and back halves (see pic) which sets the front face of caliper a little more outboard. I hope this answers your question. Thanks, Mark

    Yeah, thats why I was puzzled, cause I know the pro street brakes, set the wheel out the farthest due to the vented rotor. However, I was not aware of the issue with the caliper clearance with the wheels. I was considering the 2 piston kit, only because they claim to set the wheel in about a 1/4 in.

    Thanks for the info.

    Here is a better pic of complete kit. The wheel spacers are for 5 on 4.75" bc only. I can keep the spacers and knock some money off if a 4.5" bc spacer is needed. Spacers are around $20.00 a set through jegs or summit. Thanks, Mark

    This kit is only 2.5#'s heavier per side than the Strange drag brake kit.
