    FRONT BRAKES

    I heard that unique has a large brake option that has 13 inch rotors and uses wilwood 4 piston calipers. While still allowing 15 inch trigos to fit anybody know of this and what part numbers are used.
    thanks DEAN

    I don't beleive that the 13" rotor will fit the 15" wheels. Generally the largest you will be able to hope for in a 15" wheel is the 12.19" rotor.

    Dean,
    You can use the 13" rotor with 15" Trigos & 15" PS Enginering wheels.
    The bracket to mount the calipers is only available from Unique and they will only sell it as a complete kit(rotors,calipers,hats,pads,brackets).

    " you can use the 13" rotor with trigo or PSE"

    That is GREAT news. I didn't think it would fit, I will go home and pull a wheel and measure just to be sure. Checked the Wilwood site and the literature says minimum wheel ID should be 14.14" for the 12.19" rotor and 14.66" for the 13" rotor.

    With the "D" compound and the 12.19" rotor my brake balance was coming up a bit to the rear. I will have to redo the calculations with the 13" and the balance should be just right! COOOOOOOOOOL.

    Thanks

    Rick

    Now just where did I put that caliper adaptor template????? Yes, I make my own!
