I'm running a similar brembo 4 pot (F40) and had to take loads off the front face of the caliper & a tiny bit from the inside of the wheels; if you're already using wilwoods what's the attraction?

One's off an Alfa like this, but this scumbag's dreaming of that kind of money!

Cool mate, mine was a kit which is no longer available I believe, seems that not many people where aware of it as I don't remember ever seeing them on another vaux. I didn't do much problem solving to get them on, except fitting spacers to clear the wheel spokes

i went for them due to the rarity of seeing them on vauxhalls, especially novas

Width for room. The wilwoods are quite wide (not as wide as Brembos) so have to have discs with a larger offset and my calipers are spaced back as well to just get them behind my wheels... So wanted to see if i could do it in a better way...

Sounds good, i dont want to ue spacers. So ill spec up bells and rotars so i dont have too.

Nice although you are limited by the distance you can move inward by the section of the hub carrier that connects to the track rod ends, it's angled so the further in you go the further out the inside edge of the disc will need to be which can be done using large diameter discs (providing the inside diameter of the rotor increases with the outside) know what I mean? I can knock up a sketch to explain better.

I only wanna go to around 300mm. To fill the wheel gap and use bells. And to remove the spacing i've had to add in. Which i really don't like.
