If you visit the paddock at Sears Point next weekend (26-27 June), the PRC will be there and you can see some examples of setups. A number of us with light cars run a 930 rear caliper up front with a simple and cheap lightweight Wilwood rotor and either a Carrera rear caliper with Wilwood hat and super light rotor (my car), or a Boxster caliper with a Wilwood hat and super light rotor. With the Boxster rear calipers you need adapters. All with a readily available master cylinder. Simple, light, cheap and balanced. There are maybe a half-dozen cars with this configuration.. .maybe even more.
If your Wilwood front is similar to a 930 rear, then you may be able to run almost the same thing. I have the Wilwood rotor part numbers (we buy them from Summit). Wilwood rear hats with an appropriate offset are hard to find... I have a brand new set available if they can work on your car.
I will be there all three days.

Mike I was looking into a Wilwood alternative for my 85 Carrera. But I'm not sure what hats or rotors to use (under my 15s). Do you have any suggestions? I'm mostly upgrading for weight but would like to upgrade the calipers also. One thing I'm worried about is having too much brake. My car is 2K lbs and would not like to spend my time on the track locking up wheels.
