Octane: Wilwood 6 piston + 13" front rotors

[97 Octane]

Will this combination work with Gen 2 Marks with 18" wheels?

I plan on upgrading to 13" front rotors.

Not sure if the disk has the same offset and hub size for the Mark. May have to redrill the BP to 5x108. What would I need to do to make this work on my car? If not, I may settle for a pair of PBR Cobra calipers.

was able to search for an article about Wilwood High Performance brake system for a 1994 Mark VIII but the link did not work.

Redrill the rotors hat. Done.

I think it should work fine, as long as they clear the spokes of your wheels...

Usually on their website they have a template you can print off and see if they will clear your rims (or measurements). I was going to use a set of Brembos with my 20's I had before, but they were 2mm in on the bend of the spoke to much for them to fit...

Ah yes, The clearance. Good point.

Now since I am planning to get the Saleen replicas, would I still have to worry about the clearance since the Saleen spokes arc away from the rotor surface?

Anyone with Saleens on their cars know the answer?

Check with a template to be sure.

I have factory calipers with my saleens and the caliper is 1 1/8" aways from the spokes and the bracket is about half and inch from the spokes if that helps.

My understanding was if the Brembo 2000R kit will fit then the Wilwoods would. I could be wrong but thats what I heard on the Mustang sites. The Brembos clear the Speedstars just fine with room to spare.

I plan on going Wilwood too but the black caliper kit that I have found for a few hundred cheaper.
