im running them on my truck and have no problems.you have to use the sky off road braket with 82 montecarlo front calipers on 89 single cab 4x4 front rotors. you have to machine the inside of the rotors to fit the toyota hub.then eather run a 1" bore master cylinder or a factory v6 toyota master cylinder. since my truck was a factory 3.0L v6 i just ran my factory and had no issues.
