Hey Rick,
I don’t know who your question was directed at but I will chime in.
You wrote: “Feedback from some sources indicate that some of the Wilwood calipers don't provide a rock solid feel.”
I hear a lot of things about Wilwood (usually that they forgot to put parts in the boxes!) but that is not one of them. All of the brake Mfg’s are doing an excellent job of making a rigid caliper these days. “Spongy” pedals are usually related to Factory rubber brake hoses and most often Air in the lines. I have on many occasions been called to “feel” pedals. Always a bleed issue.
Anyway, the parts on my car are:
Radial mount, Superlite 6R calipers with 12.75 dia x 1.25 thk rotors. I use 2.00 offset hats and forged Wilwood Mustang II hubs. And all of it fits inside a standard 15” Trigo wheel. You just have to measure and package correctly. The biggest issue is usually clearance on the tie-rod ends.
