Thread: ??? Wilwood calipers and Tein Pillowball mounts.

Will wilwood calipers work on a smaller rotor than the 11" one supplied in the fastbrakes kit? It might not matter but I'm trying to squeeze them in under a 15"rpf1. Found out it didn't fit after installing brakes..lol.

Has anyone used the tein pillowball camber adjustable front mounts on a b13 using OEM lowering springs (hyperco gen 2 are what I have)? I dry fit one today on a koni yellow and there looked to be a larger gap between the stock spring perch and the top hat. Does that just preload the spring more? There also looked to be some play between the bushing for the top hat and the bottom of the pillow ball? Did you have to enlarge the hole in the fenderwall in order to use the adjustment at its full range? IS it safe to do that?

Thanks

It will be easier to run a spacer for your wheels to fit over the calipers. I had to run a 15mm spacer to clear my 11.75" Fastbrakes kit (Kosei K1's). If you don't run a spacer (or sell the kit), you will basically be doing most of the leg work for a custom kit to run Wilwoods. The calipers bolt to the dogbone looking bracket, so you would need new rotors and a new bracket.

Buy spacers or new wheels. Or go back to AD18/22's.

Exactly. The bracket is designed to fit those rotors. To fit a different size you would need a new bracket

Damn that's what I thought. It would need to be a huge spacer those rpf1's didn't look even close to fitting behind that wheel.

Still curious about the Teins?
