If you want to use small wheels then your choices are limited - i couldn't find a way to do it nicely with wilwood dynalite without getting
custom discs and making my own adaptor brackets. So I went the hi-spec route, people have had problems with hi-spec but I went through the
kitcarworkshop (ask for Martin). Not used them as my car is far from built yet but they are very light and shiny. I did spend more than i was hoping
to but i couldn't bring myself to use sierra calipers. There was a recent thread on hi-spec so you can check up on them yourself:
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=15297
They are actually radial mount and use an adaptor plate but was included in the kit.
If you are wanting big wheels the wilwood kit for sierra uses 283mm discs and the midlite calipers i think - check with rally design (ww.raldes.co.uk)

17 inch wheels so space should not be a problem

my housemate has got wilwoods on his cossie turbo fury and they are very good, another housemate is building a zx9r phoenix and that has got wilwoods
too (both cars have got escort front uprights). I'd have had them if i could have got them sorted to fit under 13" wheels.

I have APracing 4pots on my mx5 (5100 pattern with mintex1155 pads) can't fault the brakes, the pads kick out a lot of black dust. Tried EBC
greenstuff, these crumbled away when they got hot (sticking handbrake). On the 7 I'm going for wilwood dynalite 2pots and 10.5" plain
(non- vented) discs, can't see the point in vented discs on a car this light. Those little dynalites only weigh 1.4lbs and with non- vented
discs on alloy bells it should slash loads off the unsprung weight - & it should all fit OK in my 14" wheels.
Cheers
Bob
