Default Wilwood brakes

Anyone know if a set of front big-brake upgrade for the PT GT will fit with the stock wheels? I'm having doubts the caliper will fit, the stock one is pretty tight.

The problem will be with the width of the calliper for sure. Seeing as the big brake kits switch to a 2 or even 4 piston calliper you will most likely have to swap your wheels or run hub spacers

PTWoody had them on their Elec Blue GT at CTF3 with stock chromies. They said the brakes started to squeal as soon as they put them on. I did think to ask about the fitment though...[:0] If you can find their site you may be able inquire about them[:I]

I found the site and asked about them, the people working there sucks, they asked me what a PT GT was, and then they asked me if it was the same as a PT Cruiser, then they told they did fit. If they squeal a lot I don't want them. They quoted me $650.00 for the front big brake kit.
