Yes, off the shelf. Todd at TCE calculated everything and I believe it’s within 2% of stock bias. I sent him a rebuild kit for the stock front calipers and he used that to get an accurate measurement of the stock piston size.
I’ve heard that too, but have no personal experience actually being on the track there; just spectating. Forecast is for rain, though, so I’m guessing everyone’s speed will be somewhat decreased.
Couldn’t wait for the 3mm spacer to arrive so I used some 2.8mm washers I had laying around and checked out the fitment and caliper body to spoke gap. With a 3mm spacer I think there will be about 4mm of clearance. Wheel weights clear with about 4-5mm gap, too.
Here are some close-up shots of the fitment and setup.
Dust shield remains in place with no trimming needed. The rotor to dust shield gap looks bigger in the photo than it is in real life, but I think there’s plenty of room to move the rotor and caliper inward to create even better caliper clearance if there ever is a future iteration of the kit.
Starting a new thread so it’s easier to find and organize.
Basic information:
14x1.25” rotors (355x32mm)
Wilwood Aero6 dust seal calipers
I’ll add to and edit this thread as time permits, but here is a picture of the mock-up: View attachment 5856
Will eventually post up weight comparisons of the stock caliper and rotor vs the Wilwood parts.
I’d have to dig through the Wilwood catalog to find out. From what I understand today are transitioning to their “dynamic” drive floating rotor which doesn’t use any hardware other than a huge snap ring. Otherwise, some hats and rotors allow use of different hardware to convert to floating.
Hey there, new to the forum. I don't own a VN yet but will be trading my WRX in August. I am definitely interested in doing these brakes as I am currently running a wilwood kit on my wrx and love it.
Couple questions if you don't mind me asking.
I am going to transfer my current wheels and tires over as they are less than a month old. They are enkei 18x8.5 35mm offset. Do you think the extra offset will negate the need for the spacer? Also do you have any plans for swapping the rears or just leave them stock? I know it can get complicated with the parking brakes but just curious.

Welcome to the club - almost!
As to the wheels, the design of the wheels plays as much role as the size and offset. Which model Enkei wheels do you have? I have the measurements that I used to determine clearance somewhere. Let me find them and I can post them at some point. That way you can get a better idea of fitment.
For the rears, they’re decently sized stock and I just don’t see a need to upgrade them other than for looks. Even the TCR car from Genracer doesn’t upgrade the rear calipers. They do use 2-piece Girodisc rotors, though.
Have you driven with the new brakes yet? Just curious if you're getting any pad rattle. My current set has a little bit, doesn't bother me but it is noticeable.
So total savings per side is 11.44lbs or nearly 23lbs total off the front end. And that’s with a larger caliper, larger pad, and larger & thicker rotors.
Finally got the kit completely installed, including upgrading to ARP wheel studs and G-Loc pads all around. The system is bled and and I’ll be taking a test drive hopefully in a day or two.
Looks awesome! I'll hopefully be doing these in a few months.
I just got my VN last week. But now I need new wheels. Thought my old ones would work but the +35 offset was a little too much poke for my liking. Luckily they fit perfect in my wife's stinger.
