By small wilwood calipers, do you mean the Dynalite Singles, the Floating Dynalite Singles, or one of the smaller models? We have run the Dynalite Singles for four or five years now and they have worked well, though this year we have had to deal with some sticking. The rotor is offest pretty far over to one side in the caliper, and even though we use shims behind the pads this seems likely to be the cause. Packaging with the upright and suspension points can be difficult because of their thickness, hence the rotor offset. We looked into going with something smaller, like the PS-1 model, but constraints on master cylinder size dictated that we'd have to stick with what we've been using. For reference for our next car though, I am curious to know if any teams out there have run the PS-1's, what caliper bore/master cylinder size combinations were used, and how well they have worked. Anybody?

Thanks for the reply, we are looking at using the Dynalite single floater or ps-1.
