These were custom designed by Wilwood to work in conjunction with the specifications of the BBS LM's without the use of spacers

Since the car is still driven on the street, I still wanted E-brake capability so the rear still has that capability.
Stopping power has noticebly increased but more so though than that, it is more efficient and smoother with six pistons up front. BUT because of the six piston up front, the stock rears would have been completely out of balance with the front so it was addressed with very large single pistons in the rear to balance everything out again. The whole setup is butter.
We gave Wilwood all the specs on the LM's and told them we did not want to use any spacers, so they addressed it perfectly. What I got was a complete 4 corner brake system designed around the wheels rather than the other way around.
I give Wilwood
It was fun working with them. Everything was coming down to literally millimeters, and they were determined to get it right.

how are these? and pricing
The feeling from the pedal is very firm, which personally I like. The front discs are 12.5 inches (320mm) and the rears are 13inches (330mm) and use a spacer for the standard calipers.
I paid just €3000 for the entire kit ( including 6 pot front calipers, front and rear discs, Stainless steel hoses, Endurance race spec pads) and the shipping from Italy to Ireland.
I'll post some clearer picture of both the front and rear set ups asap
