Q's about the willwood upgrade

Thanks rossint that's helpful too, although yours look like the lug mount Dynapros which are a different shape from the radial mount Dynapros.

Either way, V8 Roadsters does use a slightly deeper hat than other suppliers to move the disc and calliper further inboard and this does indeed improve wheel clearance. The difference is slight as there is only so far you can move the disc before it touches the track rod end.

Yes regular old lug mount. What do you feel you’ll gain from radial mount?
I think the V8R hat design is the best out of them all, nut and bolt to hold the rotor on rather than threaded hat.

The Dynapro radial mount is a different design entirely. The calliper body is stiffer, so will give less pedal travel and potentially less drag. It takes the same pad profile, but the pads are thicker (7816 type instead of 7812) so the consumable cost will be lower.

Wheel clearance is different because the radial mount calliper is more bulky in the axial direction (thicker pads) but is less bulky in the radial direction, so I'm investigating both to see what works best for me.

We can always test fit your current wheels onto my car to see if they fit.

Rather than start a new thread, a couple of questions about the Supermiata kit.

Firstly, anyone tried fitting that 11.75" kit under Avanti Storm S1s in 15x8s?

Secondly, anyone know what piston sizes the calipers use? I have a couple of spare pairs of Dynalite calipers here from setting up the race car, and wouldnt mind being able to keep them as spares.
