With the 18 inch 03 cobra wheels it looks like about a 1/4 inch from caliper to barrel of wheel and plenty of room from caliper to spokes of the wheelAny pictures of it on the car? What size wheels are you running and how did they fit
I am guessing the GT500 is 14" and won't work with 17s?
Probably not they are very big rotorsI am guessing the GT500 is 14" and won't work with 17s?
See down lower in the streamI'd also like to hear more from @pyro1998 about getting the xts calipers mounted!
I wanted to havr mine powder coated but my guy didn't want to do it with the piston seals in place, he was afraid it would hurt them. He didn't have a e14 torx socket so he just painted them. I had to take one of mine apart and one of them striped the head so I had to cut it now I can't find a factory bolt anywhere.Good to know. I want to have mine powder coated prior to final installation.
I appreciate the info guys. I plan on doing this sometime during these long winter months.

Well, this is interesting.
The 43mm rear calipers swap right onto the Sn95 pad hangers. It's the same exact casting. Parking brake hookup is the same as well.

Really nice. Do they use the same size rotor?
No need to touch the rotor. The only part I swapped is the bare cast iron caliper. The rotor is 11.65" cobra, and the red bracket is the original cobra pad hanger. The casting is exactly the same, the onle difference being it features a 43mm piston vs the SN95 38mm (you can see the 38 and 43 stamped on the calipers in the first photo to denote piston sizes)
You could swap this caliper onto a GT brake setup as well if you wanted to run the smaller 10.5" GT rotors, but not give up brake performance as well.
With larger caliper pistons though, MC selection becomes an issue. I have a few options with vacuum booster brakes on my fox, but not sure there are options for various MC sizes with hydroboost brakes.
Unsure just yet. This info is less than 24 hours old.
Normally with larger pistons, the MC size needs to also increase to accommodate. If using with the ATS brembos, you’ve gone from 40.5mm twin piston fronts and 38mm rear to 42mm brembos and a 43mm rear. That increase in surface area requires a proportional increase at the MC
What Mc bore sizes exist for hydroboost? All the same?
