Default Big brake question. who makes the thinnest caliper which would fit

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/23258/front.jpg"></center><p>behind LMs and RS4 replicas. I have the ECS stage IV set up front and the LMs don't fit. they only fit if i put a 15mm spacer in there. looks like i have to go to a thinner caliper...one that isn't so bulky like the Porsche 993T calipers. here's a pic to show what the issue kinda looks like.

how's stasis BBK?
or wilwood looks small?
stoptechs similar to Porsche BBK?

any suggestions will be appreciated.

Default Alergic to spacers?

No big deal Bill..space out to clear the caliper. Lot's of guys have done this. Even with my skinny Wilwoods, I need 15mm's to clear my Kahns..

Default here's a close up of the 15mm spacer. 10mm too thick...but just enough to clear

Default nope. not allergic...tire sticks out too much now...about 10mm to far.

past the fenders. the LMs can't clear the Porsche BBK.

I suppose i have to give up the LMs or go with another BBK.

What Size/Width/ET are your LM's? Just put on a BBK and was hoping to get LM's someday.

Default AP Racing makes the smallest caliper ........

but LM's are tough - you'll probably still need a spacer maybe 5mm or 8mm though. All the rest are about the same size as the Porsche - although Alcons are a little smaller.

Default Sounds like ya got the wrong offset wheels.....

These are Qu!cksilva's wheels. I think we used 15mm spacers..

But the fitment in the well was good. These were a custom offset from the UK I believe..
