Had nothing but issues. I cannot get the Wilwwod brakes to work in the back at all. I go through rear pads in less than a 3 day event. Next, I run low on steering fluid and you all know what that does to the brakes. I fill it up, look for leaks and find none. Same thing happens. I tighten all connections and go out again, gingerly, same thing. Come in and waal!, I have pink coolant. The PS cooler in the radiator leaked. Ran down to Milwaukee and picked up a new racing radiator, installed it and it worked great, cars running good. Last sesson of the day, the right spindle breaks and off I go. Fortunately I didnt hit anything but, not a pretty site

I'm not familiar with the coil overs - you need a new spidle on those, correct?

No, that uses the stock pieces. If I go to the new K member, I will need new control arms but, not spindles. Well, ecept the broken one
