Where did you pick these up from?

I bought them through forum vendor Van Steel. Several vendors sell them, or you can get them direct from Wilwood. I bought them when they were on sale this past summer.

I left the assembly on the dining room table as a center piece. This was in the morning on Christmas day, and we were having a big family dinner that night at our place.

Nice!! I would love a set of these for mine. I just missed the lottery the other night by about 6 numbers or I would have hit and bought a set.

Got a set on mine. Small trick when installing. Don't install front bolt on the rear calipers until after you rotate them upwards and bleed them. Then bolt and torque into position. Helps to get all the air out.
