do these have the same bolt pattern as the stock calipers or do you need whole new bracket?

the wilwoods will not bolt into a normal humvee. They went into service around 2007. Lots of other items are unique to those 2007 and up humvees. It is fairl expensive to swap to the wilwoods. Another issue is that you would no longer have an ebrake, as the same wilwood caliper is in all corners. Thd ebrake system needs two more calipers and more brackets.

Jason and Ted, we've got a relatively new member to the board here with only 15 posts. Let's give him a little help getting the information he needs. Remember when this was all new to us too.

Here's a link to the post Ted was talking about:

The parts Tech Manual is a must for anyone wanting to buy any parts for a Humvee, especially if modifications are in the works. There is absolutely no substitute for a TM in your hand or on your computer screen, unless you find a vendor that will do the research for you and there are some of those around.
