Then I'll order that stuff.

Did it take any work to fit the 9" wide wheels in the front? Does it clear everything even at full lock?

Very nice indeed. I'll have to give these some thought.

Awesome info! Too bad your far to see if my 17x9 +60 Advans clear the calipers. It may be tight since the spokes come in due to the lip.

^Almost guarantee any wheel that has a lip and a 60 + offset won't clear. The reason this wheel clears is because it has no lip. The 17x9 +63 CE28N clears only by a hair with a 10mm spacer. But, it would be nice to get a test fit.

Everything cleared except the lower control arms at full lock- you could get to about 1/8 of a turn away from full lock on either end and not hit anything. The inner edge of the wheel hoop makes contact with the LCA on the back side. I used a set of 3mm spacers that I had laying around to keep from hitting the control arm. Now I just hit the fender on heavy suspension compression... but that will just take a roller to fix.

My old college roommate is in LA, and he has the same exact same brake kit (front only) on his AP2. Look up spdracerut and see if he can do a test fit for you.

I've run over quite a few things in the S2000 and left the guts all over. So far the kill count sits at:

3 armadillos
1 racoon
1 cat

Although the cat went in at the center of the front bumper (broke my front lip) and went around the rear left wheel well a few times before exiting the confines of the car. It was not a pleasant sound. No yuck inside the wheel well that I could see though, thank goodness!

Thanks for the info I might look into that and the spoon calipers too.

Hey phunky,

I was wondering if you could do a huge favor as I was looking for some measurements on the hats and rotors, as well as the mounting bracket. Specifically, I wanted to know the rotor hat's bolt pattern (for example the Wilwood is 12x8.75") and the hat offset (Wilwood's is .54").

I was also wondering about the caliper radial bracket. Is the bracket 130mm or 152mm? For example, the Wilwood is 152mm/5.98". I have affixed drawings if it helps.

I would appreciate it a bunch.

Pics show as 'bad request' ? I wouldn't mind trying to take some of those measurements the next time I have the wheels off (will be this month), but it might be difficult to get something super precise with the hardware still mounted on the car.
