Default Wilwood 6 pot BBK found for sale but not even at wilwood !

Hey guys,
i was just looking for some brake pads for my BBK and found 6 pot kit from titan motorsports. Weird thing is that i check wilwood site and they only have 4 pot.
So, pretty much why question is this even legit 100% fitment for us ?

Heres the link for them. They offer a great price so pretty much if you are on the market i think its a good find.

I am sponsored by Wilwood and they do not make a 6 piston caliper that will work. They sent me what they thought would work on my tC and it was 6 piston, but after installing them it will not work. So I talked with their engineers, and then tried all of the 6 piston calipers they make and none will work with the tC. You can see my whole install detail on the Wilwood stuff here:

jester i was actually looking for you , lol since i remember that you had no good outcome with 6 pot caliper. I'm glad you responded to this thread

On a side note i've been thinking about getting their 2 piston caliper that i've seen on fastbreak and making an actual adapter that will allow to install them with power slot rear big rotors intead of stock size rotors. For that i would have to wait 6 month, lol ..Iraq sucks..

4 pot brakes definately work bro, i personally like them and dont think i will ever need anything higher then that...maybe only for bragging rights or something like that, but i personally more interested in hooking 2 pot caliper to the rear power slow big rotor. thats my next brake project.

hmm...strange, because it looks like on that thread jester posted, it seems like the OEM 17's just barely clear the calipers.

yes they fit no problem, they are close without the spacers but they do not rub or touch at all. I raced March 6th with the stock wheels, now I was running 20mm spacers, but as you can see from the pictures without the spacers they clear without problems or issues. However I did try both sides in the test fitment without spacers and there was still an adequate amount of room and absolutely no rubbing, or interference



and stock wheels with out spacers...well not a lot of room but they fit fine no rubbing at all

that is an awesome bit of news there for me. i've wanted to add a big brake kit, but didn't want to have to replace my two sets of 17" rims. so i guess when my stoptech stage II kit is kaput. i'll order those next!

Kenny Tran was running 6 piston wilwoods on his tC. I am 110% sure, I even have the Dsport mag that featured his ride.

They were either custom made, or he is running a different hub setup
