Disc-brakes

I´ll need new discs for my T/A, and looking for some good ones that won´t get warped in heavy breakings. Anyone use the Wilwood Medium Duty kit? http://www.wilwood.com/products/kits/medbr/index.asp

Or can anyone recommend another brand?

You could go with 1LEs and save a few bucks. I just upgraded to them and couldn't be happier. Steve Spohn sells the complete kit. If he had the kit when I did mine in May, I would have purchased his.

What´s the necesarry spindle mod for 1LE? I live in Sweden, so I can´t send mine there (it would cost ALOT). Is it something that I could do myself?

The thing is, 1LE complete set is $850, then there´s shipment let´s say $100. Then I have to pay 25% VATS and custom here in Sweden.

I´d have to pay $1100 for the Wilwood´s here in Sweden, and it feels like they´re better suited?

I modified mine with a Milwaukee band saw. It's easy, just cut off the brake caliper "ears". AndyZ28 on the thirdgen.org boards has a CD rom that covers the 1LE swap in detail. That will tell you everything you need to know.
