Yes. Both front and rear kits are available.

So many good options. I see the Sprint kit isn't available for the second generation cars. Is that due to the increase in power causing the smaller, lighter rotors to heat check prematurely?

It will be available later.

How should one decide 372mm vs 355mm front? Does 372mm push one to 19” wheels?

Of course, I’d like the lightest possible setup that does the job. However, future plans might have some big power & repeated high speed runs so also trying to plan for the future.

Thanks. FYI, the link didn’t work for me when using a browser (but I see the thread ID).

Good to know 355mm should handle everything. Let’s see if I can build something to overwhelm it.

I don’t want to track the car, but I want to save some weight and reduce unsprung mass anyway. And I want them to fit 17x7.5 wheels.

The Essex product pages say various kits fit the factory 18 inch wheels. Do any fit 17 inch wheels?

372 won't be necessary for anything but the most extreme builds, imo.

Both 355 and 372 will require 18" wheels for virtually all applications. The only 17" wheel that I know of that is in production that will clear these brakes are Forgelines, which run ~6k/set.

With 18" wheels, most wheels should clear both calipers. Templates are available for both.

If there's enough demand and folks are willing to crowdsource the info as they try it themselves, I'll happily keep a running list going for the next 5+ years. I'll start with what I've already tested.

Unless you're ready to spring for some 17x7.5 Forgelines, you'll need 18" wheels.

Do you happen to know which style of Forgeline in 17” clears the 355mm 9660? For 18”, I thought there’s a minimum width of 8.5” due to the forging used. 7.5” is available in 17”? That’d be awesome!

AP Racing Endurance (CP8350/325) and Sprint (CP8350/299) fit the OEM 17x7.5" wheels.
