Default Which brakes will fit under 15 inch Rota Slipstreams...

Really, I wanna know if the Wilwood Dynalite II's will fit under the Slipstreams. If not 15's then how about 16's?

Fastbrakes kit should work. I have a similar kit on my hatch(11.5" rotor and billet Dynalites) -the slipstreams worked fine. Tight, but it works. http://www.fastbrakes.com

Oh, I see now that Fastbrakes offers a different rotor than what Wilwood has matched up with their Dyna's on their website. So will the Fastbrakes kit fit with 15 or 16 inch Slipstreams? I'm still a little confuzzled on the matter

Thanks,

Ant

last time i talked to brian his civic/willwood kit would not fit under 15" slips with out using a large spacer, he told me that he was looking in to other options to fit it though, honestly i bought from him the civic 11inch kit, with teg calipers and green stuff pads, and i am super impressed, im glad i didn't pay more for the wilwoods i think they would have been over kill on a hatch

definatly give brian a call or email him and talk with him about your options, best customer service i've seen in awhile

The FastBrake willwood kit, 11.5" rotors, will just fit under my stock 15" GSR wheels. The Rotal slipstreams should fit as well.

Last time I talked to brian, as mentioned before by another member, he stated that the slipstreams 15" will not fit with the 11" wilwood kit. However, he did state that the rota circuit 8s fit fine.

the Fastbrake set-up will work, but you will need to file a little off the bleed screw so it won't rub.

My wilwood kit wont fit with anything less then a 16 inch wheel, its a wilwood kit not a kit bought from fastbrakes.

the fastbrakes kit will not fit. I have it with a 16inch Slipstream and i had to go through hell just to make it fit. I had to put a huge spacer and extend the lugs just to make it fit. The smoke of the slipstream is straight out it's not curved like the circuit 8's. I put a 15inch circuit 8 on the car over the brakes and it worked fine but not the slipstreams.

I bought the 11'" adopter kit from Brian, which includes all the hardware to put the VW Corrado disks, minus the rotors and the calipers.

The all aluminum bracket is quite the piece of art. Light, strong, well designed.

HIGELY RECOMMENDED .

The 11" fastbrake/ wilwood kit fits 16" sw-388s without rubbing.



Caliper is close but doesn't rub.

If you want to use a 15" wheel, you'll need a 10mm spacer.

I have the Fastbrakes 11" kit with the Wilwood dynalite calipers and it fits the stock GSR rims "barely" but it fits.

So it fits stock gsr rims, real spoons, but not the rotas. Guess that a reason to against the rotas... damn

Looks like a 45 series tire. That would be my guess by squinting till my eyes hurt.
