Front caliper upgrade
Looking to upgrade front brake calipers from single piston to dual piston. Found Wilwood at this site
https://sportcompactwarehouse.com/wi...gaAu_AEALw_wcB Has anyone done this or possibly another brand?

is the route I went Willwood pro spindles 13" rotors with the hub machined to fit hub Designed and had some caliper brackets cut out and some spacers to center the caliper 2020 calipers (pretty sure same as the years before, just different brand and these were take like 5 miles old.. super cheap) 17" wheel is probably the minimum size for this size of brake setup. There are other brands of spindle that already accept the PBR15 style caliper and use machined covette rotors I believe... I just chose the hard path, custom.. between that and the corvette rear calipers, I think it was a manual master cylinder... it has a smaller bore for the primary and made a big difference, it doesnt take as much pedal effort anymore .
