hello i need some help . anybody installed the disc brake conversion kit from wilwood ? i'm trying to understand the instructions for the bracket that holds the caliper. do the calipers mount to the front of the car or to the rear  on the spindle it appears to me that they go to the front  .just want to be sure before i proceed .  i had drum brakes before

thanks for the help

 
I have a Wilwood WIL-140-13477. My car had discs so this was not a disc conversion kit, but the caliper may be the same, but I am not familiar with your kit. In my kit they face forward and I had to drill three holes in the spindle.

This is the sketch from Wilwood for my kit:



These are pictures from my setup. I just took this pictures but with the wheels on. I can't find the pictures with the wheels off. You can see part of the caliper on the front of the spindle. I hope these help.
