You can install any caliper, but the brakes need to clear the wheels;
which prevents most installs.

Hats can be made to adapt any calipers easily, but you'll need some
wheels with interesting offsets.

You can have a machine shop make it but let me tell ya, from experience, it's a little involved. You have to secure your rotor and hat before you start and make sure everything clears...


Your offset won't matter if it's a low disk...how much clearance do you have from the inside face of your wheel to the caliper? Most large caliper setups require a HIGH DISK setup on the wheels...

Why not use Supra TT brakes?
I'm not sure that the wilwood calipers have a dust seal either,which is good to have for a street driven car.

6 piston Brembo? Not 4 piston?

Din - I ended up getting the 14" StopTech setup...I'll be posting a full review in my SC400 Project Car article...along with a little tour of StopTech's facility...
