OK so think ima go sentra calipers....Question though. i put in 86 and 92 in a search at autozone....86 is cheaper, and $5 core charge. 92 few bucks more, BUT $25 core...Picture shows the identical caliper...So im goin 86 unless theres reason not too!?

The s-10's are just under 1" from the rotor just an FYI. Can pull the cutter with one finger at throttle and lock it. My gias I thought I would snap the lever off, and I tend to pull hard. But always heard good things of the wilwoods, i run them up front.

From what I hear you should be happy. Just another FYI, my rear brakes on my 09 Dodge Grand Caravan are single plate rotors roughly same thickness we use. And it has the cable for E-Brake. Think I may switch to that setup at some point.

I never use to have fronts hooked up.then I went to wellsville and I knew right away I would not go back with out them if I had my boy in it with me.I was riding with everybody else and they had fronts and was stopping on stuff I couldn't.just about had a few close calls with plowing into someone.since I have them on the front on a separate handle I love them,can't believe I had waited so long to do it.Chad :mrgreen:
