So glad Dennis responded on list as the original message never made it to my in box.

I can’t compare the kits but I’m very happy with the GW kit.  I especially like the rear Disc and spring loaded emergency brake.  

Ironically though, my new to me 84 has stock brakes in very good condition and all drivers seem to be surprisingly happy with them.

With your wheels you do need longer wheel studs as the rotor flange is thicker than the stock drum. The front rotors are beefy offering more thermal mass than some of VW-Audi based kits. As availability is sometimes an issue I have these kits in stock.

I am torn between burley kits and go westy kits.  I am leaning towards Burley because it seems to use off the shelf parts vs gowesty proprietary stuff.  Any other insight would be appreciated.
