Says he is running a Wilwood SL6 Caliper and a C5 rotor under that 17 inch wheel. I want to know how he did it.

I contacted the last owner, he bought the car the way it is.

I'd call up Wilwood's tech line and see if they can advise you. Even if the bracket isn't supposed to fit a C6 rotor, you can shim outward with hardened washers. I've been running the brackets on my 3rd gen like that for 8 years.

After typing that, I'd measure the Wilwood hat/ring setup you're running now vs. a C6 rotor (still have old ones?). If the offset is smaller on the Wilwood hat style, all you need is some hardened washers behind the caliper bracket and longer bolts. If you need something to measure with, you can buy a 6" digital caliper from Harbor Freight or other importers for <$20 with a coupon. It doesn't have to be perfect. I'd try to get it within .010", but OEM tolerance is probably higher.

Wilwood's tech line is useless, they didn't even know that the rotor I have on the car now existed in their parts bin to fit this kit. They also told me to take the ducts off the car and "try it" after I clearly have a heat issue with the rings. I talked to 4 guys there, was e mailed by a guy that was supposed to know his stuff. Only to have more "seasoned" responses thrown at me. Wilwood is a "show car crowd" brake tech center...not for guys like us.

Talking to those rocket scientists is a no go.

Offset is MUCH bigger to the inside of the car on the Wilwood rotor hat over the C6, that's how they get that huge caliper behind a stock 17 inch wheel. No way I would space it that far back and trust the bolts with that much load.
