Default New Wilwood bbk installed

Finally got these suckers installed yesterday during our annual tech day. Thanks to billman and tinkfist helping me with the install / bleeding process!









Excuse the poor pictures, these were just quick snapshots...its been raining off and on all day. I also am aware the rotors are actually facing the wrong direction in these pictures, I fixed that but after the pictures were taken. Also, the clearance between the spoke and the caliper is about 1-2mm or so max

^^ i would like to know as well...i also have the same brakes with ce28 +43, wonder if i can go less agressive offset...


looks good...
front = 18x7.5" +48mm

Remeber offset isn't everything, it also has to do with spoke design. I believe the CE's spokes are closer near the hub then the LE/TE's

Looks great. I like the red caliper against the silver. I also have the wilwood brake kit. Car stops on a dime! Good luck with the new brakes.
