"When the phone rings and it’s someone building a brake system from scratch, that’s actually a really fun time for me,” says Michael Hamrick, one of Wilwood’s top tech specialists. “That’s when we get to really form a relationship with someone and talk to them, ultimately, about what is going to make their car more satisfying to drive.”
As luck …
As i am currently doing the brakes on my own stock car turned road racer, thank you for this article. It is much appreciated.

Yeah I felt much better and less intimidated about the possibilities after I did this story. Really excited to start digginginto this car as soon as the MR2 is up and running.

Really opened my eyes about how much goes into a whole system outside of just size of caliper and rotor–I never considered how petal mounting can factor in.

Nope. You're my engineer for this whole rolling clusterberkeley of scope creep!
Speaking of which.....
Just shared this on social, but figured it would be applicable here as well.
I'm in. Basically converting an early 80's style Trans Am thinking to something more in line with its potential.
Step 1: Ask GRM.
Step 2: Wait for AngryCorvair to chime in.
Step 3: Bask in information
I can't help but note the similarities between that picture and my JAGUAR's brakes.
or should I say the weird way the rotor is installed behind the hub?
