You're wrong on this. You need special brackets, special wheel spacers, and special wheels. The brackets have to be custom made, and rarely work right. Don't bother wasting your time, it'd be better spent making adapter brackets for Corvette calipers, or buying 6-pot Wilwoods made specifically for our cars.
its this kind of attitude that prevents new and exciting things from getting done...


It's not an attitude, nor even an opinion. I'm stating simple facts.
Have you looked at what sort of clamping pressure and load distribution the 3kgt 4-pot (1989 design) gets you over the Wilwood 6-pot (2004 design)? Or even how little of a gain they give you over the 2-pot GSX calipers? Have you seen two different people have custom 3kgt caliper brackets fail within a month, after in the end spending twice the price of a wilwood kit?

I've ridden in a 2gnt with 6-pot wilwood fronts, and 4-pot wilwood rears. There's simply no reason, for the money, to do anything else if you're serious about stopping.

If your idea of new and exciting is killing yourself from hokey-ass homemade shit, by all means, go for it. Break a leg.
