I'm looking into doing the 6p brakes with the 14 inch rotors. Does any one know if that will fit with a set of 18 inch ccw sp500 wheels. 18x9 or 9.5 in the front?

Were they cut for big brakes? Just cut out a template on the Baer website and glue it to a piece of cardboard and physically check on the actual wheel. That is what I had to do to make sure my Baer XTR 6S brakes would fit onto my CCW classics.

You should have no problem, I had plenty of room on my CCW classics with the Baer 6P kit I just took off my car. I recently upgraded to the much bigger Baer XTR 6S calipers and I have about 0.100" in the front and plenty of room everywhere else.

They look much better/bigger but you definitely are paying for the monoblock upgrade with the XTR caliper. I'm still in the 500 miles of the normal driving period then have to season the rotors and bed the pads so haven't really been able to fully use/test them yet. Another bonus for the XTR's is you can change the pads without removing the calipers, there is a removable bridge on the top. I liked the 6P's but decided to upgrade.

I have the 6s 14 inch on mine. The car brakes as violent as the 700 rwhp on e85.

It's a much needed improvement and I feel safer now
