I don't think cross drilled rotors are recomended with the wilwood kit. I think there is at least one report of a rotor breaking.

Cross drilling is not the advantage some think. More vanity than performance given the stock rotor design.

agreed. I plan to go slotted some day but have no use for drilled rotors.

Why haven't you guys adapted 951 rotors 300mm x 28mm. The dynapro radial mount calipers will fit under 15's with 8-10mm spacers.

You'll have to mock them up. I mocked up the axial mounted Superlites and they would need 20mm spacers (on the late NA hub/spindles).... The Radial Wilwoods allow for a more compact adapter bracket. Now if you have 16" Fuchs then the axial Superlites need NO wheel spacers.....BTDT.

Ok. Question. With the 16's mounted how much distance is between the caliper face and wheel inner sweep? Here's the Pic of the Forged Superlite I mounted to the 951 rotors on the Late NA Spindle. I don't see why the 86T hub/rotor would be any different offset when mounted to the EARLY NA spindle. That would have to be done if you didn't change to Late NA spindles....

probably 2.25in or so. (there is a ton of room behind clubsports)

I may do another mock-up with this combo then. I sold the adapters already as I figured it was a 1-off deal. I do remember that I wanted to re-design/machine the adapters to get better Hex-bolt head clearance as I had to use hardened Cap-heads to clear.Thanks for your input 3rdgen.
