Need measurements for 99 spec calipers

I finally decided on some Volks for the car but am trying to be **** about the fitment especially since Volk won't/doesn't guarantee the fitment.

The measurement I need is the caliper height * #3 in the diagram
and a measurement on how far outboard (radius) the caliper is compared to stock

7racer, if you look at Volk Racing (Japan site) they have a fitment table. Look for the offsets with a notation that says (big calipers for FD, or FD big calipers).

Example: CE28N, 18 x 9.5, *+47 is meant for the big front calipers of FD. Before the site was updated, this was in English?

I did a rough measurement once. I recall, a minimum of 40 mm caliper clearance. My SSR Integal A2 in 9 x 17, 45-mm offset are 45 mm in caliper clearance. Good luck!

Thanks Manny!

I did and according to the site I need Disk B for the front. But since all of the wheel places have a no refund policy I was trying to double check the clearance and have one of the Volk dealers check the pad height on their wheels. Just being extra ****.
