    i'm thinking of having brackets machined to accept wilwood calipers. 4 pots in the front with 185 rotors and 2 pots in the rear with stock rotors. interest????
    these are ONLY for brackets. the rest can be sourced later. i need 10 solid buyers to get this done. or 20 if it's split between front and rear.

    AP Racing has a bigbrake setup for the st185, why not choose for these?

    Aaand since it would be for ST185 rotors, what's the problem with the WMS kit? More models at Wilwood to chose from?

    because of location. wilwoods are cheap in usa. not much else. and i know they are good.
    minimum tire size is 15

    Price point?

    A few hard pulls I've noticed the stock system still kinda scares me a bit...

    it's just a bracket. it won't be horrific. i'm not saying it won't be 50 bucks a bracket. it might. i doubt it'll be that high.

    What are the caliper prices there? Not many Wilwood fans here and the majority are opting for D2/XYX while the rich guys are going AP

    Currently I'm using the car only on street, gave up my track day "dreams" and for street the ST185 brakes are enough. But it's still a good price.

    yes the front rotors will require a change...to st185 rotors. that's it.
