If you just want to increase rotor size to 14", it may just make sense to keep the kit you have and just buy new rotors. Then all you need to sell is your 13" rotors.

To do this you just need the (4) longer 3.15" caliper bracket studs (vs. your current 2.5") & the (4) .42" spacers that go onto the studs that space your caliper up correctly over the 14" rotor. Then of course the rotors.

I did not see the spacers offered through Summit, but could get from Wilwood. I may have some laying around as well. If I do I will mail to you if you decide to go this route... or I believe a stack of 3/8" AN washers works the same.

Thanks Jay I will do this if that works,I called Wilwood yesterday and they told me I had to buy new brackets for each side and they wanted $214 each for brackets and price of rotors.If you have spacers let me know and I will pay you for them.I am going to Jegs today and I can check with them on studs or I will order from Summit.I really thank you for the imfo,big help.

I just checked my "bone pile". I did not have any of the Wilwood spacers in that size. Again, no real need for the actual "Wilwood spacers", as a stack of washers with the correct i.d. & o.d. is just as effective.

Note: I was incorrect on specifying the use of 3/8" AN washers to do this. I was going off memory, and the AN washers are used along with the 12 point nut to fasten down the caliper. The washers you will need will have the 3/8" i.d. and an o.d. large enough to max out the "seating bore" in the caliper to better help stabilize the caliper.

Glad this info helped. From my own experience in past, it was quickly realized that thre is ZERO resale value on aftermarket brake kits.

Good luck!
