AMS Wilwood rally front brake kit for evo X
Whos got a set of these? I'm running the AMS Wilwood light weight front kit and a custom Wilwood rear setup with 15" team dynamics wheels and rally tires. I'd like to upgrade my front brakes to the rally kit in hopes that with some cooling ducts I can track my car too. I know it's not an ideal kit for that but I want to be able to rallycross, autocross and track the car without braking the hydraulics.
Will the front kit be up to occasional track use with some cooling ducts added? If not, anyone know of a front kit that I can just change the rotor and mounting bracket so I can run smaller diameter wheels for rallycross and larger rotor and wheels for track and autocross? I know I'm asking a lot but I want a versatile setup so I can get the most seat time since rallycross events are pretty rare in my area.

be very careful on the track with mini brakes. we can quite easily overheat the brakes even with full sized brakes on an X, so reducing the size to fit a 15" wheel is dramatically reducing the clamping radius thus the stopping torque. i don't see it being "ideal" for road courses, but i simagine it would work for a couple laps at a time.

If anyone knows of a caliper that can be used with small and large rotors let me know as that would be ideal.
