DionR. Why not just get your knuckle 3D printed as a test piece?
Have you thought about designing your knuckle to be 2" taller than stock from the centerline of the hub/spindle and drop the lower ball joint mounting location 1.5" to 2" from the centerline of the hub/spindle? Droping the ball joint mounting location would be the same as what Chris Birdson is doing with the lower ball joint drop brackets he is running on his B-bodies with a longer upper ball joint. I'm not entirely sure where he's ended up for upper ball joint length.
The S550 6 pistons Brembos can fit with a 14" S197 GT500 rotor in an 18" wheel with the right brackets. ;)
The S550 4 piston calipers will work if you machine/grind the outside of the calipers for wheel barrel clearnance.
I need to get back on finishing the bracket design. It currently works with drum brake spindles but I would like to come up with a solution for the disc brake spindles.
