warning wilwood d52 upgrade

I ordered the d52 upgrade caliper kit for my 71 swb. When ordering I asked about brake lines and was told i needed to know the length to order which i didnt know. The sales guy told me dont worry the stock lines will work. Well the stock lines were not long enough so i put it back together and needed 1.5 inch longer. Sales guy said they had 14 inch hose kit which was perfect. When the lines came in they measured 15.5 inches and had wrong fittings, so again i put the stock brakes back on goin through lots of brake fluid. Called wilwood was charged 37 dollars for the correct fittings was told i would get JOBBER price for the mix up, thanks alot. Recieved the fittings with reciept no discount some extra misc. charge and 12 dollars ground shipping which cost more than the caliper kit and brake line kit, go figure. Installed brakes and my 15 inch rallys (wheel vintiques) will not fit the caliper is interfering, after i was told they would fit. Will not be calling wilwood because they have terrible attitudes, I guess you have to be big budget to get descent service. sorry so long. wanted to warn everyone before ordering this kit or any other products from them.
