Default Wilwood caliper brackets

Are there any brackets made to fit the wilwood dynalite caliper to a stock 89 c4 spindle with j55 brakes? will I be able to use my wilwoods with ABS or will I have to get rid of the ABS first?

There are adaptors for Wilwood SL6's and GNIII's, but I've never seen one for a Dynalite (not that one doesn't exist, just that I've never seen one).

As long as the brake bias is set up properly, the ABS will function fine. When you go with a larger piston area, you're effectively shifting more brake force to the front which can upset the balance of the car's braking. If it's too far off, the ABS computer could over or under compensate when it engages.
