Wilwood parts combination similar to Sprint Kit

I've been searching for a budget brake upgrade with enough heat capacity and long pad life for track usage. I don't think big sized rotor is required to our applications, especially for my 16-inch wheel setup.

I've checked @diss7 's fitment checking thread and am sure that my SSR Type C 16x7.5 +35 will fit Sprint Kit.

But after noticing AP 8350 caliper is almost same form factor as Wilwood SL4R/SL6R, I'm thinking about combining Wilwood parts to make a similar brake as Sprint Kit.

What do you think?

Disc rotor : 160-11837 (R/H), 160-11838 (L/H), 11.75x1.25, 129.59$ each, 259.18$ total (parts changed)
Hat : 170-9206 (offset 1.1") 134.93$ each, 269.86$ total (offset is not fixed yet. have to calculate.)
Caliper : 120-13231 (Forged Superlite 4R), 248.34$ each, 496.68$ total
Pad : typical 7420
Bracket : 250-9208 (WRX BBK bracket), 147.32$ each, 294.64$ total (may require shortening 3mm)

Yes.
But 317mm rotors are too big to 16" wheels.

When the rotors are less than 1/3 the cost of the OEM rotors... it may make you second guess your purchase.

If your brakes fail, you are NOT going to be happy.

You're looking at rear use rotors that aren't made to take the abuse and heat of track use in front (at least on a grip car)

You should be looking at the GT rotors:

There's almost always benefits to technical exploration, who knows, you might indeed find information of value. Dont be discouraged, and keep it up OP.

Do it right the first time saves momey too. Good luck op. Post pics and results of your finished product please

Thanks.
I'm not familiar with Wilwood parts, so this kind of information is very useful.

I agree.
I'll invoke the plan after checking almost everything I can think of. That's why I posted this thread and ask your opinion.

I am going to follow this closely. I am currently running a half DIY wilwood kit for a WRX. I am running into issues with the Calipers flexing, and getting air in the calipers that I cannot account for. I have sealed all the lines and I am not leaking any fluid. I also want a lighter rotor than the STI rotors it currently uses.
