I get a real kick out of working on these things. It's as fun as it is frustrating. I can fully understand the frustration level I can't count the times I've shook my head with "are you kidding me?" I usually walk away and come back to it later. I did a Wilwood brake upgrade on a Coupe and it was as far from plug and play as you can get. EVERYTHING was custom fit. I had to make brackets to retro fit the E-brake, which is no longer called an emergency brake, it's now a parking brake which works great if your on dead flat ground and there is no breeze. All the rotor hats have to be re-drilled and so on yet it is touted as complete and ready to bolt on. The kit was neither. BTW, it didn't come with any instructions either. As an answer to the OP's question, no I wouldn't have just thrown the instructions away. I would have tried to use them as a guide line for installation but only as a guideline.
