Wilwoods - forward or back postion

[Cazbah362]

OK - Installing Wilwood front disc brakes on a 1970 Cuda. Factory disc came installed towards the backside of the rotor closest to the firewall. I have seen pictures with upgrades facing forward or away from the firewall.

What is the best or preferred method to install? and why?

Either way functions the same. The difference will be the length of the brake hoses and the bleeder needs to always face up or you will not be able to bleed the air from the brakes.

Leo - Thanks, I appreciate your response. I remember doing my Darts brakes in the front when I did the conversion and needing to find longer hoses, however those where the >73 system. I think I will be putting them in the original location for this car, lines are going to be stainless anyways, guess no matter either way.

Do appreciate the mind bump though, thanks
