Does it work? I have no idea yet, but we will find out Dec 1 at Road Atlanta.

Did the Burkhart kit include the spacers that go in between the backing plate and the spindle?

They fit just fine on my stock car.

They also fit fine on my car with Paragon BBK.

must be different ali flavors out there, or they adjusted the production run.

yeah, i'm running that bbk and it wouldn't even fit between the rotor and the knuckle, let alone have a clearance.

Must be. Oh well. I decided to get the Burkhart kit instead.
