I am considering the fastbrakes 11" Big brake kit with the Wildwood 4 piston calipers. He has told me that they will fit the factory 15" wheels(and a spacer is provided if not). All that is keeping me from doing it is the fact that the calipers do not have dust seals and in turn require a bit more maintenance. He has said that the piston seals would need to be replaced once a year or so, but not a prob because the seal set is only like $20 and to replace them only takes about 30 minutes each. But he has said that you should check fairly often to make sure that there is no debris between the piston and the caliper wall because of there being no dust sheilds to protect that area. Because these calipers are originally intended for off-road/racing use, in which they would be maintained more regularly anyway, but I would like to use them for the street, so I would like to know if there are any other concerns to have 'cause I dont want them to be more of a problem then benefit. Also, I am located in Orlando Fl where it rains all the time, so I dont know how this could affect them over time, but atleast I do not live up north with all the snow and salt problems. I dont think that it should be too much of a problem, just wanted to know what anyone else thinks. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And anyone have any actual experience with this type of thing? Thanks.
Well... they can fit... you might have to shave off some of the caliper and maybe the wheels to fit though... I eventually had to get larger wheels to clear the caliper. The brakes are nice though--I have the FB 11" kit, Wilwood Superlight IIA calipers. BIG.
