[Track Junky]

That was a short introduction of what I've been up to and there's been a lot I left out including some cool vehicles I have picked up for my kids but what I think some of you guys might be more interested is the new brake set up I'm working on for the race/track car.
As you know Baer and Wilwood have some great bolt on brake kits for stock spindles but those systems will not be enough for my set up. I went through Sutton but he had nothing available for 17" wheels and stock spindles so I started to do my home work.
The bolt on systems I came across all had a max piston bore area of 4.04" even with their 6 piston kits. IMO not near enough for what I needed. I noticed wildwood had a 4 piston caliper with a 5.18 piston bore area. I gave them a call and we went to work on putting together a system that would work for me. A difficult task? Not even.
The radial mount bracket is the same they use for their typical kit applications only difference being the width of the roter. Bolt on kits have a 1.1" rotor to where the bigger piston bore area calipers have a 1.25" mimimum rotor thickness. That's just .14" of difference.
In short, front calipers should be here by Monday. I ordered the whole 9 yards with hubs, bearings, seals, hats, rotors, etc, etc.
Stay tuned if your interested as I will document the install. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that just a few shims will make this a simple bolt on process.
