Wilwood brake caliper for fc
Hey guys just wondering if anyone here has ran a pair of Wilwood calipers on there FC.
I am looking at getting some 4 pot wilwood calipers but need to know what ones fit and also if anyone could give me the full dimensions on the brake rotors on the front?
Thanks guys

Front rotors are 276 x 22mm (10.87 x 0.87").
Knowing "which Wilwoods fit" tells you nothing.
You need to determine what you need in terms of piston diameter/number and how the new calipers integrate into the whole system.
For instance, what about the rear brakes?
If left stock, you'll need to find calipers that approximate the OEM four-piston units, otherwise your brake balance goes to hell.
Once you've decided the basic parameters you can look at their website and see what body configurations are available.
These sort of calipers can typically be adjusted for varying rotor width by adding spacers between the caliper halves.
Why choose Wilwoods over OEM?

usually people run willwood (or other) calipers to be able to run larger brake rotors.
the normal procedure is to pick the biggest rotor that will fit in the wheel, pick a caliper (they have a few different styles depending on street/track, piston sizes, etc) make an adapter and then pick a rotor hat that makes it all fit.

No i dont want to run bigger calipers or rotors.
I am running front runners on my car and the wheel hits on the caliper transfer port.
Now i have machined that transfer port down but i am not happy with doing that.
I am running a 15x4 with 1.75" backspace and they sit just on the guard and also just nick the caliper.
So i am hoping to find a caliper that will fit with out hacking at it.
I am not worried about the system that much as i am running a parachute and also can run a byas valve if i have to.
