I was perusing Wilwood's website yesterday and stumbled across these bad boys. I have read that many guys on here are opposed to wheel diameters above 18". This setup requires a 20" wheel.

I was wondering how difficult it would be to proportion these brakes to not lock up under heavy usage. Seems they would be matched well with a sweet ABS system....if only Stielow's ABS system was sold as an aftermarket bolt-on package!

At least one can can dream..... :thumbsup:

The 16" brake work great for their intended application. A big ass truck with alot of rotational mass. The weight that they are is probably double that of a 13" kit. The unsprung weight would be silly for any Pro-touring car.
