Hi Stefan,
in fact no your calipers are bigger than mine in piston area.
mine are 6" sq. That's for the whole caliper ie. 4 pistons.
Yours are 8.08" sq. over 6 pistons, Wilwood quote the piston area only on one side of the caliper for some reason.
Therefore yours are 25% larger than mine.
I think i see my way forward with bigger brakes, it's just how to keep the cost down is the issue as always.
I want to get them sorted before my run to Le Mans in July.
Ideally I'd like to keep my discs and bells and just increase the piston area.
I've been looking at the Superlite 4120-7568/69.
I'm not sure if I can make them work with the rest of my set up?
