Default Willwood brake kit

Ok so i was checking the market for a brake upgrade as one of my stock calipers is messed up and it seems they have this new option http://fastbrakes.com/shop/pro...d=417 but they do not know if these will fit the stock 15 inch eudm wheels, does anyone know?
TIA

Do they say it fits OEM USDM wheels?

well they do have a kit with larger rotors that fits "some" 15 inch wheels as they quote, i hoping someone would know if this with smaller rotors could fit oem wheels.

The reason I asked about what they said about the USDM OEm 15" wheels is because if they fit under the OEM USDM 15" wheels, then they will also fit under the European wheels.

Call them and ask them this, if you want to keep your 15" OEM wheels.

I'm a little curious about what you're doing because most of us find the OEM ITR brakes quite sufficient through the first several stages of development.

For example, Franza's H1 K20A Honda Challenge car is still on OEM ITR brake system including ABS, and my own K20A ITR is still on the factory brake system. (Of course, we go through a quite a few more rotors than most people.)

Most people looking for big brake kits on the ITR would have moved on to other wheels by now...so I'm just curious what you're up to.

Something else to think about is asking them what <u>offset</u> might be needed for 15" wheels to work. For example, they might say that a brake kit does not work with 15" wheels because it was tried on the factory USDM 15x6 +50 wheels, when in reality the brake kit fits perfectly wheel with SSR 15x7 +38 wheels.

You get the idea.

yes i know stock calipers r nice, but one of them is messed up so instead of repairing it i would probably go for an upgrade.
I did ask them but they dont know
I plan to get some 16 inch wheels, but i dont wanna spend money right now on wheels, tires and brakes.

If it fits some 15 inch wheels....are we thinking about an offset issue? If thats the case it can be rectified by spacers...am i right?
