Message	I bought them years ago and didn't try to install for many months. When I did, the wheels wouldn't clear. I let a lot of time pass since then. The brakes fit the car, but I was very aggressive in sizing them (as was SPL). They will only be cleared by 18" wheels or larger, and you need to be careful of the wheel design still. So yeah, my mistake, and I'm (slowly) trying to fix it so I can take the car to the track again. I could put the stock wheels back on (which have autocross tires on them) but at Road America my stock brakes glow red after three laps and shoot flames after five laps. I saw a big brake kit as essential and didn't want to go too small. - John
