    I am in the process of putting disc brakes on my A100.
    With installing the Scarebird brackets and rotors, does it move your wheels and tires more to the outside of your fender wheels?
    The reason I ask, I also would like to lower the front end about an inch by de arching my springs.
    Thanks!

    Someone may chime in before I get the chance to look, but I am almost positive there is plenty of clearance to the fender wells with the scarebird brackets. I am also running 15 inch slotted aluminum wheels on the front, with a standard standard offset.

    I am running a 4.5" S/S Crager on the front so I should be good.
    Thanks for the info!!!!
    We have a car show here every year and there was a gentleman from Ft. Wayne with a Red A100 Van that was very nice. An old Fire Dept. vehicle he said.
