just waiting on a template fitment test/pending wheel choice upgrade may impact this too, ideally the car will wear a street rim(oz hlt 17x7.5 with DOT DD rubber) and also have a Track wheel, (17x9 clad with r-comp)
leaning ENDURANCE, but wanting 17's, thus the fitment check milestone...stay TUNED!

Great, gmhooker! I'm glad we're going to be able to earn your business. Thank you very much, and we look forward to servicing your future braking needs.
I reviewed this once before in the original Essex brake kit thread, but Endurance wheel fitment is sometimes actually superior to the Sprint, despite the larger disc. The reason being, the caliper is pushed further away from the center of the hub. On some wheels, the spokes curve inward very tightly as they get closer to the center, cramping the Sprint cailper because it is sitting closer to the center.
So, the moral of the story is...when in doubt check the templates folks. Just because the Sprint or Endurance System will or will not fit, doesn't mean the same will be true of both!
That said, please note that the Endurance system will fit many, many 17's. We have use the same 325x32mm disc and CP8350 caliper from our Endurance system on Evo's, STI's, E36 M3's, etc...many of those cars run 17's as well. The only tough thing will be finding as many options in the 5x100 pattern.
Here are some wheels I have recorded as fitting our systems (submitted by various users):
Sprint
Enkie RPF1 17x8 45
Wedsport TC105n 17x9 35
Mach V Motorsports "Awesome" wheel 17x9 42
Work Ultimates 18x8.5 47
Sparco (designed by OZ) Assetto Gara 17x7.5 48
Endurance
Enkie RPF1 17x8 45
BBS CH-R 18x8 38
Much thanks to BZRanger for confirming another one.:happy0180:
