If anyone were to ask me, I would not recommend this big-brake upgrade for a street-driven Sprite. (Spitfire rotors / MGB calipers / spacer adapter) There’s just too much work involved to keep the rotor out of the upper link, not to mention the toe-link issues. I ended up using aftermarket droop limit rubbers to let the rotor turn to full-lock without hitting the pinch bolt. You still need to cut a big clearance at the end of the link arm. Some guys reduce the diameter of the rotor, but to me, that seems to defeat the purpose of the kit. The steering spacers required move the tie-rod ends inboard so that you get a half inch toe-out until you shorten the links and cut more threads. It all works great now, but it was a pain to get there.
