3/ We'd have to make a custom adapter for the caliper. For one-offs, that could be a couple hundred bucks (for design and machining).
Yes, (1) is true, but wouldn't you get better modulation with 4 pistons, versus one? There is another option as well (http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Bra...Camaro&option=), which is the 6-piston kit with 7.3 sq-in per pad. For (2), I think the offset is -0.28, not 0.28, so it is about 1/4" in, which should provide more wheel clearance. For (3), I was under the impression that you use a stock spindle, which should accommodate these kits. I must be wrong there. Thanks again.
