Thumbs up Willwood GT 6000 Brake Upgrade Question

I have a95 z-28 and the brakes and suspension are pretty sorry! I can't stand having the same 1 piston cast calipers on this car as my old 88 IROC! they simply suck...

I purchased a pair of WILWOOD GT 6000 Vented aluminum 4 piston Cailers from ebay. I want to do a custom brake job and I have no idea how to mate these calipers to the 4th gen steering knuckle....

Has anyone done a similar job? I would imagine it would be like a Bear brake job where i would have to puchase much larger rotors w/ a hat and have a bracket made. They are also plumbed with 1/8 npt fittings. A true race/pro setup. WOULD BE AWEOSME ON OUR CARS!

These calipers are huge and were run in nascar a few times. They look awesome and I would say they are the equivalent of a bear xl top of the line setup. There are 4 pistons (non staggered) all of which have stainless shielding and the caliper is made of billet aluminum with stainless shielding around all surfaces where the rotor is near. They can be broken down and rebuilt and have top load drop in pads. I have no idea how to mate these to a 4th gen. I also have pics showing their exact dimensionas and bolt spacing... If anyone knows how to help Hook me up! THanks guys!, KUrt
