datson4life Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Pm me later when your ready and will get you set up with him. remember 2 things you need to convert to a dual master cylinder of course and you will need a proportioning valve. I believe it or not did my whole brake system and I did not add one . At the time I thought I did not need one i was so wrong, but my brake system is 1 of a few he made as my brakes are a 2 piece rotor there really nice on a trailer or just sitting [fuck you guys lol] but would i go that route again because of cost I don't know. Sweet, for sure, i need to finish green one tjis weekend and get it out of the way 2 Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 My iPhone has the follow this topic button. And good choice with wildwoods. Too Rich for my blood. Maybe if I get a phat enough tax refund. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Why bother with the wilwoods? Are you ever going to pack enough heat to NEED them? The dual piston calipers are more than enough for most of the trucks here. Look at Bee's brackets too. 2 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 For me...the product from KRECS is gorgeous. Well made. My problem with them/him was the service. Every time I had a query the answer was different. I had no idea what the brackets were for when it was finally time to install. Also took forever to reply. I was texting his phone with a lack of response. Beebani's...the answer was the same every time. Same application; same fitment. Never steered. Always replied. Bee's are not beautiful. BUT-they are solid. Well made. I like to buy quality. But service is huge to me as well. Bee is a supporter of Ratsun-which is also keen. Both KRECS and Bee make great products-but it boils down to support to me if I was to do it again. Research, and make your own decision when informed. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 For a 320, 520, 521 I have to go with the Mike Klotz Brake Kits. His are more than Bee but he puts a lot more into his brake kits. Here is a Picture of what he sells. Neither Beebani or KRECS went to this level of research and development. Worth every penny I spent on them! Any questions? 2 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Nice, never knew of so many options for 521 disks lol 1 Quote Link to comment

Worth every penny I spent on them! Any questions? Definitely don't sleep on Klotz's product. Good stuff. Great Ratsun member. Awesome Datsun guy. His brackets will allow you to use stock wheels. From what I have read, fitment of everything he sells is A-1. www.bluehandsinc.com Check his stuff out. Always answers questions. Even is knowledgeable about everyone else's product. His prices are a little bit more than everyone else's-but his stuff makes the prices worth it. 4 Quote Link to comment

datson4life Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Welp, hopefully next week i will be starting this 521, getting them big brakes this weekend, and collecting parts here and there, plans are a new, clean comfortable interior with buckets, chassis all redone, all suspension up front fresh, ka and fresh engine bay, and ratty exterior, low on the ssr wannabes, hopefully its driving before the baby shows up 2 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I had to run 1/4" wheel spacers do to in consistent caliper castings. Actually could get by with a 1/8" spacer on 1 side Quote Link to comment

datson4life Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 baller status! I couldnt refuse the deal, mrbigtanker hooked it up with the right contact, and they look really easy to install, like no cutting or wwelding status 2 Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Very easy like this! Make sure you use grade 8 bolts (or 12.9 Metric) on the through holes. Bottom bolts are factory. Great time to do bearings but you'll need to decide which route to go on them; the endless search and expense of 521 originals or the mklotz 620's. The 521 harder search, easier work. The 621 more work but easier search. Not much work though, just get the ring off like mine in the pic. 4 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Very nice! Same brackets i have it looks like, Yes, thank u for the bolt advice, about 30mm long? Right? 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Very nice! Same brackets i have it looks like, Yes, thank u for the bolt advice, about 30mm long? Right? They look alike but yours are for Wilwoods, just bolt them up and drive fast and stop hard..lol 2 Quote Link to comment
