Hi Jason. Yes they are Disc's. Its the only way to fly. Very happy with them. Disc's are so much better than drums. A lot more braking. Just make sure you check the brake bias. I kind of fried my fronts the first season because i didnt have it right. I believe its suppose to be 60% rear, 40% front. I have them on a 66 Chevy2. So clearance is always an issue. I run 4.5 back spacing. I should have also said that your wheel weights will have to be closer to the inside (toward the differential) of the wheel. When i had originally had the tires balanced. The weights were more centered. And the calipers kind of peeled the weights off the wheels. They are close. But theyll clear. I have about 3/8" clearance. And if worse came to worse. You could grind a little off the leading edge of the caliper if they are close.
I dont know how to post a pic on here. If you send me your e-mail add. I can shoot you a pic of how it looks.
