Help me choose a caliper.

That looks really nice, so are you going to sell this as a kit??? How much is it going to be?

Yes, please give us more info on this, it appears that the rotor cap is custom but was there anything else done to the strut assembly itself for example ?

I see that it was converted to studs also ?

Perhaps I haven't replied to that question elsewhere, so he it is.
The complete kit is $950usd.

Includes:
Anodized aluminum hats
Stainless steel brackets
All fasteners
Wilwood Superlite forged - your choice of piston size
Wilwood HD 11.75" x 1.25" discs
Wilwood Polymattrix Q compound pads
All hydraulic fittings

There is a $30 option to replace the hydraulic fitings by a pair of direct-to-connect DOT/SAE compliant SS braided/sleeved brake lines.
Currently two sets in stock: Silver anodized, gold anodized.

Bolt-on. Except for one small tab to grind off on the strut. Heat shield must be removed. Profile of kit available to test against your wheel.

Complete website soon.

e30 race kit with 11.75" x 1.25" discs and Forged Superlite race calipers. street kit with 11.75" x 0.81" rotors available. Email me to get the mock-ups to test against your wheels. Thanks.

So the $950 kit is the race kit, is the street kit going to be less? And about wheel fitment, are these going to require 15" wheels are are these going to fit behind the basketweaves and caps?

Cheaper? It depends. Hats will be slightly more expensive (more material required as they are deeper, due to the fact that rotors will be thinner and still pushed all the way inside). Instead of the $55usd rotors, the thinner ones will be $30. The difference will pay for the material for the hats.

So, same price. Still cheaper than the usuall $1500 asked at other shops for kits with hats that are not anodized, and usually never in stock.

BTW Most people will want calipers with the 1.38" pistons. Even my racecar has the 1.75" pistons, but that is because I have a big piston caliper in the back.

The installation kit can be ordered separately if you already have your old Wilwood calipers. Basic kit costs $450usd and includes 2 anodized hats, 2 stainless steel adapters, all fasteners and hydraulic fittings. For $30 extra, I will substitute the hydraulic fittings for the DOT/SAE compliant braided lines. So, $480usd + $35 shipping. That's the price for the race kit. Expect to pay $50 more for the street kit. The main difference will be that the caliper is tucked 0.44" (11,18mm) toward the inside. You still need 15" wheels with lots of clearance or 16" wheels will be a safer bet.

Other Wilwood calipers may offer more clearance, but it will be up to the user to pick one and adapt it.

Hope it helps.
