Over the winter I bought the Aerospace front brake kit for my NOVA through JEG's, I know several of my race friends that have their stuff and had good experience. However that was not mine; from the smart a*# kid on the Aerospace tech support line to none I repeat none of the mounting bolts were the correct size or length, all the rotor mounting holes had to be retapped, the wheel studs are about three inches too long,( looks like Ben Heir chariot) and the final straw on the first check out pass the "Chinese" outer wheel bearings created such a wobble due to poor tolerance I almost wrecked.

JEG's was great about allowing a refund or swap for Wildwood etc but by this time I had so much time and $$ invested in fixing or replacing all the flaws and was close to the Belle Rose event I choose to leave alone, I.e. new American bearings, machine work, and correct bolts etc.

On the lighter side after over a week of coming in at night from the garage upset my wife thought the brake companies name was "Damn" :-)
