I installed their 6-piston kit, calipers mount on the rear of the rotors.

See thread here, pg 8.

I am currently running a set of wilwoods up front, drums out back, with the hydroboost and it works great. I am swapping soon to a set of 13" Baers at all 4 corners but for street driving you will be very happy with just the wilwoods up front. But add a proportioning valve to keep more pressure to the fronts.  :cheers:

You can run the Hydroboost with either disc/disc or disc/drum, you just need the appropriate MC. You cannot use it with a drum/drum system.
Consider investing in the 6-piston Wilwood kit, it's well worth it. You'll need to run a minimum 17" wheel, though.
