Skip,
It is not a simple bolt on with out purchasing a
spacer to position the spitfire rotor correctly on the
hub. My kit was with my car and was from Winner's
Circle which included the rotors and spacers. I think
Minmania sells the same kit. The B calipers you can
get wherever. There is some fitting and grinding
required to center the calipers on the rotors and in
some cases to get the tie rod ends not to interfere
with the rotors. IT certainly stops well, but IMHO the
setup's cost is not justified for a street only
sprite. But that depends on your street driving style
as well. There are some of us that drive on the street
as we do on a track and could benefit from better
brakes.
