On a 80,s 1/2 ton truck is there a better caliper other than the single piston stock type that can bolted on without getting a new spindle

I believe Wilwood makes an upgrade

1.25" wide front Rotor

1.00" wide front Rotor

http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Bra...olet&model=C10 Pickup&modoption=4 x 2 w/ 1.00" Wide Front Rotor

Will bolt up using oem spindles and rotors.
