Don't you need to trim either the rim or rotor a little bit, to prevent contact?

Make sure you get the spring the goes in the master cylinder if the kit you get does not have it you can get it from one of the supporting vendors. With out it you will have too much front braking and not enough rear.

So if I understand you all correctly, my 86 Vette with 93 sawblades, WITH spacers already installed to maintain the correct offset, will fit C5 brakes just fine? I sure hope so, because I already have the brakes and Ed Salinas adapter...
