they DO NOT fit under slips unless u run like a 10mm (if not more) spacer. the wilwoods are aluminum and will flex outward under heavy braking. i was running slips on my race car with 6mm spacers, and they were rubbing. however, speedmasters w/ a 6mm spacer will fit.

not sure about SW388's

some 15's will work and some will not

i even considered shaving a lil bit off the mounting bracket to eliminate as much of that brake pad overhang as possible ... i even considered running a fatter spacer (15mm up) to get the AEM kit to fit ... o well i guess i gotta fab it and see what works
