Wilwood drag front brakes?

Anyone have wilwood drag brakes up front on their car? I know Xtreme Innovations offers them but can't find anything on wilwood's website under 5th gen. Anyone know if the 4th gen camaro ones will fit? I seen an article a while back they installed factory 4th gen brakes on one for weight reduction. Any info appreciated.

This adapter kit from GPI takes all the guess work out of the install as well. Put em on, bleed them and roll out!

Installed my Aerospace front brake kit. I weighed the stock components and the new ones, with the net weight savings showing 50+lbs. The kit is very nice and well done! Well worth the money, especially with the 25% off! Just make sure to buy the GPI install kit ($88).

I just installed mine today also. Definitely agree. Get the GPI kit. My alumistars fit without the spacers now also. Very happy with how easy the install was. Most aftermarket parts can be a pain.
