Front Metic Calipers

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if these will fit with a stock 14'' wheel?

or is there any calipers that are better than stock that will?

Sorry can't say for sure but are those a direct replacement for the stock metric calipers?

I think they'll fit, but these are another option:

what do you think would be the better buy? I know wilwood also makes a single piston caliper, I guess I'll have to call them to see if they'll clear a 14'' wheel. Would aluminum be better tho? I know they are a lot lighter

Not sure if this will help you but Wilwood has a spec sheet on their site with all of the dimensions for the calipers.

yes they will fit, many s10's came with 14" wheels and the front suspension and brakes are identical,

the dimension you need is dimension "E" x2 so for that caliper (GM III) it will be 13.4 take away 1/4" from a steel wheel for rim thickness, and you got about 3/16" clearance, dont know if it'll clear aluminum rims.

edit- the GM III is the caliper for chevelles and 2nd gen camaros etc

the wilwood metric caliper is identical size to your stock one, just has a larger piston.

thanks a lot looks like I might be getting a pair of those, I want something better than stock but dont feel like buying different wheels, I was thinking of pairing these with some US brake rotors, but what about pads? anyone recommend anything? it most a street car that i take to the track 4-5 times a summer or as much as i can

Wilwood makes a direct fit caliper for about $99, and it weighs 3 pounds!!

I am looking at the calipers that wilwood offers, does anyone know how much a stock caliper weighs. with the caliper and the speedway upper control arms im trying to figure out how much weight i can get off there.

i would say a good 10 pounds a piece, but not sure on an exact number, also with U.S. brake rotors they are lighter than stock too
