I have a Wilwood 6-piston setup that I tested on my car a few years back.

Front brake kit for an F-body (dunno if it will work on a Ford) 6-piston calipers, slotted rotors with aluminum hats (i can measure exactly if needed - either 13.06" or 12.88"), SS lines, brackets, some brake pads (I can figure out what they are if needed) and LS1 spindles (cut ears for the kit install). The kit takes the 16mm brake pads. I think the kit will only work with 17" wheels.

Most stock calipers I believe take the 20mm pad (my Stoptechs do for instance).

I was going to save the kit for a CMC2 build, but I don't forsee myself going that direction anytime soon.

$800 (I think the kit is around $2k new, and then you have to modify your spindles). Feel free to check Wilwood's website.

Will they work on a 3rd gen with 1LE setup??? I'm getting bid from stoptech at the moment.. I have 17s and I'm gonna need more brake if I get HP up to my target.

Probably some differences in mounting brackets and maybe rotor hats??. A general search on the Wilwood page won't pull up this kit for a 3rd gen because they came with 15" or 16" wheels. Likely have to call Wilwood tech support to figure that one out.

What's the part number on those? David, you can find the mounting pattern on the Wilwood site, along with the rotor centerline. Next week when I get home I'll send you a link to a guy that makes 3rd gen wilwood kits. My bet is Mike's calipers have the same mounting dimensions as the ones that are on that guy's kits.

hats are part number 170-6837

bracket is part number 250-6839

Granted I had these on my '99, and I am including the already cut front spindles in the deal.

I'll sell for less to anyone on this board. Shoot me offers.
