waiting for after the holidays to call detroit speed and kore3 to ask more. Understanding the calipers, rotors, and bolt pattern are my biggest concerns. If I can get rotors easily and use 5x5 I wouldnt mind paying 1500 for the kit if I can get the replacement parts easily. The one upside to the wilwood d52 and c5 calipers is easy to get now its just the rotor concern.
Those DSE spindles & hubs might lock you into a vendor (a better one vs CPP IMHO but similar scenario). While they're based on the GMT800 platform, the GMT800 unit bearings are 6-lug so grabbing one at a local parts house (should you have an issue on the road) might complicate things.

One could always keep a spare DSE hub set-up as well.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
