Not all C5 abutment brackets are made to the same exact location spec, so the exact caliper position will vary- this is not necessarily a bolt on deal. The type of bracket Exotic muscle sells (I'm not sure who makes it) locates the caliper outboard more than the VB&P ones. I had to trim .050 off of the caliper ribs in one spot. If i had the other brand of bracket, I wouldn't have needed to, but the VB&P brackets had a bad batch of mismachined garbage so....moral of the story is that rarely is anything bolt on.

I would prefer those wilwoods anyhow.

VBP is garbage. Check the wilwood web page but, order thru Summit. Summit has the lowest price, free shipping direct from the manufacturer and no sales tax. My set was made to order, they only had red calipers. Took Wilwood 7 days from the day I ordered to the day it was delivered.

Plenty of clearance

Have you driven them yet?

On EDit: I still have some custom J55 13" rotors with the aluminum center hat that would look good under the A-Mold.
