    Power/engine does not dictate the brake spec.

    I'm pretty sure my wilwood setup is 310mm and goes behind allesios. Brackets and bells needed machine work though and theirs only around 10mm between the inside of the wheel and the caliper but it all fits/works great.

    Would you say the wilwoods are worth the money? Or would you say just put some v6 or turbo brakes on?

    Yes I would.... I've used 16v,v6, 4pot Reylands amongst others and the wilwood kit definitely seems to work/feel much better. Obviously though gm brakes are a hell of a lot cheaper so it depends on your budget.
