Brakes or not
Jason,
I originally wanted to use Wilwoods, as I have used the billet Superlite in the past with 1.88/1.62 these are just a little to wide for my application, so I then looked at the 6 pot calipers, I have a space problem and am limited in width, but the narrower SL6 would have worked, then I priced up some AP's (they are about twice the price) but are narrow enough, the upside to that the AP has a bit more pad area, coupled with 330 x 32 front rotors have a bit of heat capibility before parts get cooked. Also looked GN Wilwood but to wide, so I spent more money, which you dont get any prizes for.
You are right the down side with my internal wiper seals would be heat but most likely with my short races and light weight car hopefully not a problem, apart from regular maintainance. Corrosion with the design seal I have these will do nothing to prevent that, so change the brake fluid every full on meeting!
