    After reading the description, they bolt onto oem vette brackets
    When we buy the calipers in semi loaded configuration, those caliper brackets allow us to use them in addition to zacks brackets

    So yes they would work, you will need the Zack brackets AND the OEM caliper mount brackets

    Now, do some research and find out if the calipers have more clamping force over the oem vette ones.

    I can buy 5 sets of semi loaded vettes, vs what you posted, plus you need vette caliper brackets, and zacks brackets

    You might be $$ ahead to buy Todd at tce front kit

    I thought there was wheel clearance issues.

    I have the zack brackets. didn't think I would need vette brackets. And yes I'm thinking there would be a clearance issue but I have 19 inch mustang wheels on the wannabe. I'm sure they have more clamping force but I'll do some research.

    Well, you can't mount the vette caliper into the panther brake pad bracket, just realize you will need the caliper brackets

    Edit: I looked at the other pictures. Doh. I guess no vette brackets needed... My mistake

    It looks like these Wilwood calipers don't have a separate bracket and will bolt directly to the custom brackets from Jerry. But yeah, the regular Vette calipers will definitely need the appropriate caliper bracket. You can see them in the photos.

    Yeah I think I'm going to try it. I'm just worried about the caliper hitting the spokes of my rim. It's really close as it sits now stock.

    Let us know how it works out and take pics of the progress for us. I think a black set would look good.

    That's what I was thinking. I have plenty of clearance between the od of the rim and the caliper but it's real close towards the hub and spokes.

    The rotors are thicker, thus thicker calipers, thus wheels sticking out via spacers, or using lower offset aftermarket wheels.
