Hello, I'm hoping I'm doing something stupid here. Having issues getting the caliper + bracket to line up appropriately. This is the Wilwood 140-10206 kit with the 2.39" hub offset (or at least that's what it should be unless they shipped me something wrong).
With the bracket on the inner side of the RTA (like how the stock bracket is) the caliper isn't even close to fitting over the rotor. I thought moving the bracket to the outside would fix this issue, and now the caliper does seem to fit over the rotor but now the bracket is also touching the rotor.
Someone please tell me I'm stupid, and why:
Moved the bracket to the other side and it looks like the caliper will fit like this, but the bracket is literally touching the rotor:
Going to email Wilwood as well, any advice or insight is appreciated because I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong at the moment.
Holy crap, 20.5 thickness vented rotors on the rear?
Have you read the instructions? Your issue is addressed rather clearly:
Hi -
Yeah sorry, late update I found out immediately after posting that picture what needed to happen to get the calipers/brackets on. Unfortunately I quickly found out afterwards that the barrel of my wheel doesn't fit anyway.
What front setup are you running that balances out with this rear setup? I don’t get where Wilwood is coming from on the math.
FK7 Type R TCR for reference - stock CR-V sized rotors with a reasonably sized race caliper. Bigger heavier 340hp car with 380mm fronts that easily outbrakes a GT4 car. Rotors last literally the life of the race car outside of crash damage or a caliper failure.
