Pete,

I just checked a G&S brochure that I had and it lists Koni. Since I'm sure they didn't have time to re-engineer anything that's probably what Butler used. The brochure also has some pretty good pictures of the front suspension and brakes (Marty Kruger's car, I believe he is still in Reno and he was also quite knowlegable on a number of parts for Butler, I believe he was associated with G&S doing sales/promotion, haven't seen him since last year). There appears to have been an option fo either "Wilwood 12"/4 piston caliper or 13"/6 piston Grand National brake systems. Standard was the 11"GM rotor/brake combination. Also, when I went down to G&S to pick up some parts, I saw the routing for the lower rad. hose and did the same pass-thru on my x-member. I used a slip-in piece of 1 1/2" tubing instead of welding in case I had a leak problem with the tube it would be an easy fix. I got my sway bar from Kruger and it sounds like we mounted them in a similar fashion. From the rear side of the frame on the 45 angle and mounted to the top side of the lower A-arms.

Rick,
why did you pull off the 4-piston calipers you have for sale? I may be interested since as I said the JFZ's I have drag and there are no rebuild parts I'm aware of plus the connection for the brake line is in the middle of the caliper which is to close to my anti-sway bar ends.

Thanks,
Mike
